American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Now these are the last words of David.David the son of Jesse saith,And the man who was raised on high saith,The anointed of the God of Jacob,And {Hebrew: pleasant in the psalms of Israel.}the sweet psalmist of Israel:
The Spirit of Jehovah spake {Or, in}by me,And his word was upon my tongue.
The God of Israel said,The Rock of Israel spake to me: {Or, There shall be one…and it shall be as &c.}One that ruleth over men {Hebrew: a righteous one.}righteously,That ruleth in the fear of God,
{Or, Thy throne is the throne of God &c.}Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed theeWith the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
He will judge the poor of the people,He will save the children of the needy,And will break in pieces the oppressor.
He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,A morning without clouds,When the tender grass springeth out of the earth,Through clear shining after rain.
