Psalms 89:19

Then you ¹  spoke through a vision to your faithful followers ²  and said: “I have energized a warrior; ³  I have raised up a young man ⁴  from the people.

1Sa 16:1; 1Sa 16:18; 2Sa 7:8-17; 1Ki 11:34; Ps 89:3; Isa 9:6; Jer 30:21; Mr 1:24; Lu 1:70; Php 2:6-11; Heb 2:9-17; 2Pe 1:21; 2Pe 3:2; Re 3:7

¹ tn The pronoun “you” refers to the Lord, who is addressed here. The quotation that follows further develops the announcement of vv. 3-4.

² tc Many medieval mss read the singular here, “your faithful follower.” In this case the statement refers directly to Nathan’s oracle to David (see 2 Sam 7:17).

³ tn Heb “I have placed help upon a warrior.”

⁴ tn Or perhaps “a chosen one.”
