* Now these are the last words of David : David the son of Jesse saith , And the man who was raised up on high , The anointed of the God of Jacob , And the sweet psalmist of Israel saith , * The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me , And his word was on my tongue . * The God of Israel said , The Rock of Israel spoke to me , The ruler among men shall be just , Ruling in the fear of God ; * And [he shall be ] as the light or the morning , [like ] the rising of the sun , A morning without clouds ; [When ] from the sunshine , after rain , The green grass springeth from the earth . * Although my house be not so before �God , Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant , Ordered in every way and sure ; For [this is ] all my salvation , and every desire , Although he make [it ] not to grow . * But [the sons ] of Belial [are ] all of them as thorns thrust away , Because they cannot be taken with hands ; * And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear ; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their ] place .
