22 “No enemy will outsmart David,and he won't be defeatedby any hateful people.
23 I will strike down and crushhis troublesome enemies.
24 He will always be ableto depend on my love,and I will make him strongwith my own power.
25 I will let him rule the landsacross the rivers and seas.
26 He will say to me,‘You are my Fatherand my God,as well as the mighty rockwhere I am safe.’
27 “I have chosen Davidas my firstborn son,and he will be the rulerof all kings on earth.
28 My love for him will last,and my agreement with himwill never be broken.
