⁷ “Now, tell my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] says: I took you from the pasture and from ·tending [following] the sheep and made you ·king [ruler; leader] of my people Israel. ⁸ I have been with you everywhere you have gone. I have ·defeated [destroyed; ^Lcut off] your enemies for you. I will make you ·as famous as any of [^La name like the name of] the great people on the earth. ⁹ I will ·choose [provide; appoint] a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them so they can live in their own homes. They will not be ·bothered [disturbed; moved] anymore. ·Wicked [Evil] people will no longer ·hurt [oppress] them as they have in the past
