Please be willing, O Lord, to rescue me! O Lord, hurry and help me! ¹ 

O Lord, please accept the freewill offerings of my praise! ¹  Teach me your regulations!

Go, eat your food ¹  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. ¹  Indeed, ²  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. ³
