19 You once spoke to your faithful people in a vision. You said, "I have given strength to a soldier. I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20 I have found my servant David. I have poured my sacred oil on his head.
21 My powerful hand will keep him going. My mighty arm will give him strength.
22 No enemies will require him to bring gifts to them. No evil person will beat him down.
23 I will crush the king's enemies. I will completely destroy them.
24 I will love him and be faithful to him. Because of me his power will increase.
25 I will give him a great kingdom. It will reach from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.
