"Now may the Lord show steadfast love and faithfulness to you. And I will do good to you because you have done this thing."

The God of Israel has spoken;
the Rock of Israel has said to me:
"When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God,"

Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, "Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel."

"You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your gentleness made me great."
