1. Now these are the last words of David: David the son of Jesse saith, And the man who was raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel saith,
2. The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, And his word was on my tongue.
3. The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me, The ruler among men shall be just, Ruling in the fear of God
4. And he shall be as the light of the morning, like the rising of the sun, A morning without clouds; When from the sunshine, after rain, The green grass springeth from the earth.
5. Although my house be not so before ·God Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in every way and sure; For this is all my salvation, and every desire, Although he make it not to grow.
6. But the sons of Belial are all of them as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands;
7. And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
