2 SAMUEL 23:1-7
NOW THESE BE
THE LAST WORDS OF DAVID.
DAVID THE SON OF JESSE SAID,
AND
THE MAN WHO WAS RAISE
UP ON HIGH,
THE ANOINTED OF THE GOD
OF
JACOB, AND
THE SWEET PSALMIST OF ISRAEL,
SAID,
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SPAKE
BY ME,
AND
HIS WORD IN MY TONGUE.
THE GOD OF ISRAEL SAID,
THE ROCK OF ISRAEL SPAKE TO ME,
HE THAT RULETH OVER MEN
MUST BE JUST,
RULING IN THE FEAR OF GOD.
AND
HE SHALL BE AS
THE LIGHT OF THE MORNING,
WHEN THE SUN RISETH,
EVEN
A MORNING
WITHOUT CLOUDS;
AS
THE TENDER GRASS SPRINGING
OUT OF
THE EARTH BY
CLEAR SHINING AFTER RAIN.
ALTHOUGH MY HOUSE
BE NOT SO WITH GOD;
YET HE HATH MADE
WITH ME
AN EVERLASTING COVENANT,
ORDERED IN ALL THINGS,
AND SURE:
FOR THIS IS ALL MY SALVATION,
AND
ALL MY DESIRE,
ALTHOUGH HE
MAKE IT NOT TO GROW.
BUT THE SONS OF BELIAL
SHALL BE ALL OF THEM
AS THORNS THRUST AWAY,
BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BE
TAKEN WITH HANDS:
BUT THE MAN THAT
SHALL TOUCH
THEM MUST BE FENCED
WITH IRON AND
THE STAFF OF A SPEAR;
AND
THEY SHALL BE UTTERLY
BURNED WITH
FIRE IN THE SAME PLACE.
LOVE
