1 These are the last words of David:“Here is the declaration by David, son of Jesse—the declaration by the man whom God raised up,whom the God of Jacob anointed,the singer of Israel’s psalms:
2 “The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me.His words were on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel spoke to them.The rock of Israel told me,‘The one who rules humans with justice rules with the fear of God.
4 He is like the morning light as the sun rises,like a morning without clouds,like the brightness after a rainstorm.The rain makes the grass grow from the earth.’
