Psalms 89:19

17 For You are the glory of their strength,
And in Your favor our¹ horn is ^aexalted.

18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Then You spoke in a vision to Your¹ holy one,
And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty;
I have exalted one ^achosen from the people.

20 ^aI have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,

21 ^aWith whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not¹ outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
