1Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, The man who was raised on high says, The anointed of the God of Jacob, The sweet psalmist of Israel:
2The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me, His word was on my tongue.
3The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: One who rules over men righteously, Who rules in the fear of God,
4[He shall be] as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, [When] the tender grass [springs] out of the earth, Through clear shining after rain.
5Most assuredly my house is not so with God; Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, Although he doesn`t make it grow.
6But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they can`t be taken with the hand
7But the man who touches them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: They shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place
