Psalm 89:20

Perplexity About God's Promises

¹⁹ You once spoke in a vision to Your loyal ones
and said: “I have granted help to a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen from the people.
²⁰ I have found David My servant;
I have anointed him with My sacred oil.
²¹ My hand will always be with him,
and My arm will strengthen him.

David My Servant

David

1 Samuel 16:1

The Lord said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem because I have selected a king from his sons.”

1 Samuel 16:12-13

So Jesse sent for him. He had beautiful eyes and a healthy, handsome appearance.

Then the Lord said, “Anoint him, for he is the one.”

Acts 13:22

After removing him, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man loyal to Me, who will carry out all My will.’

Isaiah 61:1-3

The Spirit of the Lord God is on Me,
because the Lord has anointed Me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and freedom to the prisoners;

John 3:34

For God sent Him, and He speaks God’s words, since He gives the Spirit without measure.
