TSK · 2 Samuel 23:1

This is the blessyng wherwith Moyses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death, and sayde:

The lordes aduersaries shal be destroyed of hym, & out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: The Lorde shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall gyue myght vnto his king, and exalt the horne of his annoynted.

Dauid was the sonne of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem Iuda, named Isai, which had eyght sonnes, & this man was taken for an olde man in the dayes of Saul.

Now therfore, so say vnto my seruaunt Dauid: thus sayeth the lord of hoastes, I toke thee from the sheepe coate as thou wast folowing sheepe, that thou mightest be ruler ouer my people ouer Israel.

He is the towre of saluation for his king, and dealeth mercyfully with his annoynted: euen with Dauid, and with his seede for euermore.

And that same tyme Dauid did appoynt chiefely to thanke the Lorde by Asaph and his brethren.

Saying euen I haue annointed him my kyng: vpon my holy hyll of Sion.

He chose also Dauid his seruaunt: and toke hym away from the sheepefoldes.

Therfore my hande shalbe assured vnto him: and mine arme shall strengthen hym.

And Dauid hym selfe sayeth in the booke of the psalmes: The Lord saide to my Lord, syt thou on my right hand,

Speaking vnto your selues in psalmes and hymnes, and spirituall songues, syngyng and makyng melodie to the Lorde in your heartes:

Is any among you afflicted? let hym pray. Is any mery? let him sing psalmes.
