I have found my servant David. I have poured my sacred oil on his head.My powerful hand will keep him going. My mighty arm will give him strength.No enemy will have the victory over him. No evil person will treat him badly.I will crush the king’s enemies. I will completely destroy them.I will love him and be faithful to him. Because of me his power will increase.I will give him a great kingdom. It will reach from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.He will call out to me,‘ You are my Father. You are my God. You are my Rock and Savior.’I will also make him my oldest son. Among all the kings of the earth, he will be the most important one.I will continue to love him forever. I will never break my covenant with him.I will make his family line continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the heavens.“ What if his sons turn away from my laws and do not follow them?What if they disobey my orders and fail to keep my commands?Then I will punish them for their sins. I will strike them with a rod. I will whip them for their evil acts.But I will not stop loving David. I will always be faithful to him.I will not break my covenant. I will not go back on my word.Once and for all, I have made a promise. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.It will last forever like the moon, that faithful witness in the sky.”But you have turned your back on your anointed king. You have been very angry with him.You have broken the covenant you made with him. You have thrown your servant’s crown into the dirt.You have broken through the walls around his city. You have completely destroyed his secure places.All those who pass by have carried off what belonged to him. His neighbors make fun of him.You have made his enemies strong. You have made all of them happy.You have made his sword useless. You have not helped him in battle.You have put an end to his glory. You have knocked his throne to the ground.You have cut short the days of his life. You have covered him with shame.Lord, how long will you hide yourself? Will it be forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?Remember how short my life is. You have created all people for such a useless purpose!Who can live and not die? Who can escape the power of the grave?Lord, where is the great love you used to have? You faithfully promised it to David.Lord, remember how my enemies have made fun of me. I’ve had to put up with mean words from all the nations.Lord, your enemies have said mean things. They have laughed at everything your anointed king has done.Give praise to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.

And the evil things people do will be paid for. Then everyone will always do what is right. Everything that has been made known in visions and prophecies will come true. And the Most Holy Room in the temple will be anointed.“ Here is what I want you to know and understand. There will be seven‘ weeks.’ Then there will be 62‘ weeks.’ The seven‘ weeks’ will begin when an order is given to rebuild Jerusalem and make it like new again. At the end of the 62‘ weeks,’ the Anointed King will come. Jerusalem will have streets and a water system when it is rebuilt. But that will be done in times of trouble.After the 62‘ weeks,’ the Anointed King will be put to death. His followers will desert him. And everything he has will be taken away from him. The army of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the temple. The end will come like a flood. War will continue until the end. The Lord has ordered that many places be destroyed.
