25 My faithfulness and mercy will be with him;through my name his horn will be exalted.
26 I will set his hand upon the sea,his right hand upon the rivers.
27 He shall cry to me, ‘You are my father,my God, the Rock of my salvation!’
28 I myself make him the firstborn,Most High over the kings of the earth.
29 Forever I will maintain my mercy for him;my covenant with him stands firm.
30 I will establish his dynasty forever,his throne as the days of the heavens.
31 If his descendants forsake my teaching,do not follow my decrees,
