1 These also be the last wordes of Dauid: Dauid the sonne of Isai said: and ye man which was ordayned the annoynted of the God of Iacob and the sweete Psalmist of Israel, sayde: 2 The spirite of the Lorde spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. 3 The God of Israel spake to me, euen the most mightie of Israel sayde: A ruler ouer men being iust, ruling in ye feare of God: 4 And as the morning lyght when the sunne is vp, a morning in which are no cloudes, so shal my house be, but not as the grasse of the earth is by bryghtnesse and rayne. 5 For so shal not my house be with God: For he hath made with me an euerlasting couenaunt, perfect and sure in all poyntes: and this is truly all my health, and all my desyre, that it growe, but not as grasse. 6 But the vngodly man, shall be as a thorne cleane pluckt vp, which can not be taken with handes: 7 But the man that shall touche them, must be defenced with iron, or with the shaft of a speare, and they shalbe burnt with fire in the same place. 2 Samuel 23:1-7, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
