David’s Final Words
23:1 These are the final words of David : “The oracle of David son of Jesse , the oracle of the man raised up as the ruler chosen by the God of Jacob , Israel’s beloved singer of songs :
23:2 The Lord’s spirit spoke through me; his word was on my tongue .
23:3 The God of Israel spoke , the protector of Israel spoke to me. The one who rules fairly among men , the one who rules in the fear of God ,
23:4 is like the light of morning when the sun comes up , a morning in which there are no clouds . He is like the brightness after rain that produces grass from the earth .
23:5 My dynasty is approved by God , for he has made a perpetual covenant with me, arranged in all its particulars and secured . He always delivers me, and brings all I desire to fruition .
23:6 But evil people are like thorns – all of them are tossed away , for they cannot be held in the hand .
23:7 The one who touches them must use an iron instrument or the wooden shaft of a spear . They are completely burned up right where they lie !”
