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.’
27. I will appoint him to be my firstborn son,the most exalted of the earth’s kings.
28. I will always extend my loyal love to him,and my covenant with him is secure.
29. I will give him an eternal dynasty,and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.
30. If his sons reject my lawand disobey my regulations,
31. if they break my rulesand do not keep my commandments,
32. I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a club,their sin by inflicting them with bruises.
