David’s Last Words
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:
aThe Rock of Israel spoke to me:
‘He who rules over men must be just,
Ruling bin the fear of God.
A morning without clouds,
Like the tender grass springing out of the earth,
By clear shining after rain.’
aYet He has made with me an everlasting covenant,
Ordered in all things and secure.
For this is all my salvation and all my desire;
Will He not make it increase?
