22. My hand will be with him;my arm will make him strong.
23. No enemy shall outwit him,nor shall the wicked defeat him.
24. I will crush his foes before him,strike down those who hate him.
25. My faithfulness and mercy will be with him;through my name his horn will be exalted.
26. I will set his hand upon the sea,his right hand upon the rivers.
27. He shall cry to me, ‘You are my father,my God, the Rock of my salvation!’
28. I myself make him the firstborn,Most High over the kings of the earth.
29. Forever I will maintain my mercy for him;my covenant with him stands firm.
30. I will establish his dynasty forever,his throne as the days of the heavens.
