“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
    to raise up the tribes of Jacob
    and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
(A)I will make you (B)as a light for the nations,
    that (C)my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that (A)by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, (B)whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. 11 (C)This Jesus[a] is the stone that was (D)rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.[b] 12 And there is (E)salvation (F)in no one else, for (G)there is no other (H)name under heaven given among men[c] by which we must be saved.”

The Last Words of David

23 Now these are the last words of David:

The oracle of David, the son of Jesse,
    the oracle of (A)the man who was raised on high,
(B)the anointed of the God of Jacob,
    the sweet psalmist of Israel:[a]

(C)“The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me;
    his word is on my tongue.
The God of Israel has spoken;
    (D)the Rock of Israel has said to me:
When one rules justly over men,
    ruling (E)in the fear of God,
he (F)dawns on them like the morning light,
    like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,
    like rain[b] that makes grass to sprout from the earth.

“For does not my house stand so with God?
    (G)For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
    ordered in all things and secure.
For will he not cause to prosper
    all my help and my desire?
