1 These are the last words of David:The declaration of David son of Jesse, the declaration of the man raised on high, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, the favorite singer of Israel:
2 The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me,His word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel spoke;the Rock of Israel said to me,“The one who rules the people with justice,who rules in the fear of God,
4 is like the morning light when the sun riseson a cloudless morning,the glisten of rain on sprouting grass.”
