Please be willing, O Lord, to rescue me! O Lord, hurry and help me!

O Lord, please accept the freewill offerings of my praise! Teach me your regulations!

Go, eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, because God has already approved your works.

The Lord God of Israel chose me out of my father’s entire family to become king over Israel and have a permanent dynasty. Indeed, he chose Judah as leader, and my father’s family within Judah, and then he picked me out from among my father’s sons and made me king over all Israel.
