David’s Oracle

23 This was David’s last composition:

The oracle of David, son of Jesse,
    an oracle by the valiant one who was exalted—
anointed by the God of Jacob,
    the contented psalm writer of Israel.

The Spirit of the Lord speaks within[a] me;

    the Rock of Israel has talked to me.
“When one is governing men justly,
    he fears God while governing.
