Recitation of the Davidic Covenant

19

There was a time when you spoke in a vision; you declared to your loyal [prophets], "I have given help to a warrior, I have raised up someone chosen from the people.

20

I have found David my servant and anointed him with my holy oil.

21

My hand will always be with him, and my arm will give him strength.

22

No enemy will outwit him, no wicked man overcome him.

23

I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.

24

My faithfulness and grace will be with him; through my name his power will grow.

25

I will put his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

26

He will call to me, 'You are my father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.'

27

I will give him the position of firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

28

I will keep my grace for him forever, and in my covenant be faithful with him.

29

I will establish his dynasty forever, and his throne as long as the heavens last.

30

"If his descendants abandon my Torah and fail to live by my rulings,

31

if they profane my regulations and don't obey my mitzvot,

32

I will punish their disobedience with the rod and their guilt with lashes.

33

But I won't withdraw my grace from him or be false to my faithfulness.

34

I will not profane my covenant or change what my lips have spoken.

35

I have sworn by my holiness once and for all; I will not lie to David

36

his dynasty will last forever, his throne like the sun before me.

37

It will be established forever, like the moon, which remains a faithful witness in the sky." (Selah)
