Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: I have taken you from the pastures, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.

And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

And Nathan said to David, You are the man! Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.

I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you this and that!

He is the tower of salvation to His king, and shows mercy to His anointed, unto David and his seed forevermore.

Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; thus says the man raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:

For great is Your mercy toward me, and You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

I have found David, My servant; with My holy oil I have anointed him;

The enemy shall not exact usury upon him, nor the son of injustice afflict him.

But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name his horn shall be exalted.

He shall call unto Me, You are my Father, my Mighty God, and the Rock of my salvation.

My mercy I will keep for him forever, and My covenant shall be established with him.

Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

And of all my sons (for Jehovah has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah, over Israel.

And Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
