7. and subdued the enemy on every side.He campaigned against the hostile Philistinesand shattered their power till our own day.
8. With his every deed he offered thanksto God Most High, in words of praise.With his whole heart he loved his Maker
9. and daily had his praises sung;
10. He added beauty to the feastsand solemnized the seasons of each year
9b. With string music before the altar,providing sweet melody for the psalms
10b. So that when the Holy Name was praised,before daybreak the sanctuary would resound.
11. The Lord forgave him his sinsand exalted his strength forever;He conferred on him the rights of royaltyand established his throne in Israel.
