Psalms of David: At the Close of his Reign
Source: Nav
2 Samuel 23:2–7
The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue. / The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, ‘He who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God, / is like the light of the morning at sunrise of a cloudless dawn, the glistening after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.’
1 Chronicles 29:10–19
Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. / Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all. / Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.
