Psalms 89:19-37

Psalms 89:19-37 AMP

¶Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel]; I have exalted one chosen from the people. “I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him, [Acts 13:22] With whom My hand shall be established and steadfast; My arm also shall strengthen him. “The enemy will not outwit him, Nor will the wicked man afflict or humiliate him. “I will crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him. “My faithfulness and My steadfast lovingkindness shall be with him, And in My name shall his horn be exalted [great power and prosperity shall be conferred upon him]. “I will also set his hand on the [Mediterranean] sea, And his right hand on the rivers [the tributaries of the Euphrates]. “He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’ “I will also make him My firstborn (preeminent), The highest of the kings of the earth. [Rev 1:5] “My lovingkindness I will keep for him forevermore, And My covenant will be confirmed to him. “His descendants I will establish forever, And his throne [will endure] as the days of heaven. [Is 9:7; Jer 33:14-26; Gal 3:16] ¶“If his children turn away from My law And do not walk in My ordinances, If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments, Then I will punish their transgression with the rod [of discipline], And [correct] their wickedness with stripes. [2 Sam 7:14] “Nevertheless, I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail. “My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. “Once [for all] I have sworn by My holiness, [My vow which cannot be violated]; I will not lie to David. “His descendants shall endure forever And his throne [will continue] as the sun before Me. [Is 9:7; Jer 33:14-26; Gal 3:16] “It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the heavens is ever faithful.” [Rev 1:5; 3:14] Selah.
