And the sweet psalmist of Israel:
Thus says David the son of Jesse;
Thus says athe man raised up on high,
bThe anointed of the God of Jacob,
And the sweet psalmist of Israel:
3 The God of Israel said,
aThe Rock of Israel spoke to me:
‘He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling bin the fear of God.
aThe Rock of Israel spoke to me:
‘He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling bin the fear of God.
4 And ahe shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
Like the tender grass springing out of the earth,
By clear shining after rain.’
A morning without clouds,
Like the tender grass springing out of the earth,
By clear shining after rain.’
