²¹ With whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.

⁸ Now therefore thus shall you tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel;

⁹ and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

¹⁰ I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,

¹¹ and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.

¹² When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

¹³ He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

¹⁴ I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

¹⁵ but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

¹⁶ Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before you: your throne shall be established forever.

³² The God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?

³³ He makes my feet like deer's feet, And sets me on my high places.

³⁴ He teaches my hands to war; So that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

³⁵ You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

³⁶ You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.

³⁷ I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

³⁸ I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.

³⁹ For you have girded me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

¹⁵ The stock which your right hand planted, The branch that you made strong for yourself.

¹⁶ It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.

¹⁷ Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, On the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

¹³ You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.

¹⁰ Don't you be afraid, for I am with you; don't be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

⁸ Thus says Yahweh, In an acceptable time have I answered you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:

²⁴ I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

²⁵ I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on the land of Egypt.

¹² I will strengthen them in Yahweh; And they will walk up and down in his name," says Yahweh.
