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.”
5. Is not my house firm before God?He has made an eternal covenant with me,set forth in detail and secured.Will he not bring to fruitionall my salvation and my every desire?
