1. And these [are] the last words of David: --`The affirmation of David son of Jesse-- And the affirmation of the man raised up--Concerning the Anointed of the God of Jacob, And the Sweetness of the Songs of Israel:
2. The Spirit of Jehovah hath spoken by me, And His word [is] on my tongue.
3. He said--the God of Israel--to me, He spake--the Rock of Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling in the fear of God.
4. And as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun--no clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth!
5. For--not so [is] my house with God; For--a covenant age-during He made with me, Arranged in all things, and kept; For--all my salvation, and all desire, For--He hath not caused [it] to spring up.
