David’s Final Words These are the final words of David:“The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man raised up as the ruler chosen by the God of Jacob, Israel’s beloved singer of songs:
The LORD’s Spirit spoke through me; his word was on my tongue.
The God of Israel spoke, the protector of Israel spoke to me. The one who rules fairly among men, the one who rules in the fear of God,
is like the light of morning when the sun comes up, a morning in which there are no clouds. He is like the brightness after rain that produces grass from the earth.
My dynasty is approved by God, for he has made a perpetual covenant with me, arranged in all its particulars and secured. He always delivers me, and brings all I desire to fruition.
But evil people are like thorns– all of them are tossed away, for they cannot be held in the hand.
The one who touches them must use an iron instrument or the wooden shaft of a spear. They are completely burned up right where they lie!”
