Psalms 89:20

David

18 Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19 You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

21 My hand will sustain him; surely My arm will strengthen him.

22 No enemy will exact tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
