2 Samuel 23:1-3

Living Bible

“David, the son of Jesse, speaks.

David, the man to whom God gave such wonderful success;

David, the anointed of the God of Jacob;

David, sweet psalmist of Israel:

² The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me,

And his word was on my tongue.

³ The Rock of Israel said to me:

‘One shall come who rules righteously,

Who rules in the fear of God.
