⁸ And Solomon saith to God, `Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.

⁵ and out of all my sons -- for many sons hath Jehovah given to me -- He also fixeth on Solomon my son, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel,

⁸ and now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the comely place, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;

⁹ and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a great name, as the name of the great ones who `are' in the earth,

⁷ And Nathan saith unto David, `Thou `art' the man! Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

⁸ and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and such `things'.

⁵¹ Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age!'

¹ And these `are' the last words of David: -- `The affirmation of David son of Jesse -- And the affirmation of the man raised up -- Concerning the Anointed of the God of Jacob, And the Sweetness of the Songs of Israel:

²³ And Solomon sitteth on the throne of Jehovah for king instead of David his father, and prospereth, and all Israel hearken unto him,

¹³ For Thy kindness `is' great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

²⁰ I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.

²¹ With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.

²² An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.

²³ And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,

²⁴ And My faithfulness and kindness `are' with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.

²⁵ And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

²⁶ He proclaimeth me: `Thou `art' my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

²⁷ I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸ To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant `is' stedfast with him.

⁴⁹ Where `are' Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,

³ Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David -- that are stedfast.
