Psalms

Psalm 89:19–21

19You once spoke in a vision;

to Your godly ones You said,

“I have bestowed help on a warrior;

I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20I have found My servant David;

with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

21My hand will sustain him;

surely My arm will strengthen him.
