1. These are the last words of David:The oracle of David, son of Jesse;the oracle of the man God raised up,Anointed of the God of Jacob,favorite of the Mighty One of Israel.
2. The spirit of the Lord spoke through me;his word was on my tongue.
3. The God of Israel spoke;of me the Rock of Israel said,“One who rules over humankind with justice,who rules in the fear of God,
4. Is like the light at sunriseon a cloudless morning,making the land’s vegetation glisten after rain.”
