David the son of Jesse declares,
^(A)The man who was raised on high declares,
^(B)The anointed of the God of Jacob,
And the sweet psalmist of Israel,
² “^(C)The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me,
And His word was on my tongue.
³ The God of Israel said,
^(D)The Rock of Israel spoke to me,
‘^(E)He who rules over men as a righteous one,
^(F)Who rules in the fear of God,
^4 (G)Is as the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
From brightness of the sun after rain.’
With the tender grass springing from the earth,
^5 [a]Truly is not my house so with God?
For ^(H)He has made an everlasting covenant with me,
Ordered in all things, and secured;
For all my salvation and all my desire,
Will He not indeed make it grow?
^6 (I)But the vile men, every one of them will be thrust away like thorns,
Because they cannot be taken in hand;
⁷ But the man who touches them
Must be ^[b]armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,
And ^(J)they will be completely burned with fire where they sit.”
