18. For our shield belongs to the Lord, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19. Once You spoke in a vision to Your devoted ones and said, I have endowed one who is mighty [a hero, giving him the power to help–to be a champion for Israel]; I have exalted one chosen from among the people.
20. I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him, [Acts 13:22.]
21. With whom My hand shall be established and ever abide; My arm also shall strengthen him.
22. The enemy shall not exact from him or do him violence or outwit him, nor shall the wicked afflict and humble him.
23. I will beat down his foes before his face and smite those who hate him.
24. My faithfulness and My mercy and loving-kindness shall be with him, and in My name shall his horn be exalted [great power and prosperity shall be conferred upon him].
