19. Then you spoke through a vision to your faithful followers and said:“I have energized a warrior;I have raised up a young man from the people.
20. I have discovered David, my servant.With my holy oil I have anointed him as king.
21. My hand will support him,and my arm will strengthen him.
22. No enemy will be able to exact tribute from him;a violent oppressor will not be able to humiliate him.
23. I will crush his enemies before him;I will strike down those who hate him.
24. He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love,and by my name he will win victories.
25. I will place his hand over the sea,his right hand over the rivers.
26. He will call out to me,‘You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’
