1 Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, The man who was raised on high says, The anointed of the God of Jacob, The sweet psalmist of Israel: 2 The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me, His word was on my tongue. 3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: One who rules over men righteously, Who rules in the fear of God, 4 He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, When the tender grass springs out of the earth, Through clear shining after rain. 5 Most assuredly my house is not so with God; Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, Although he doesn't make it grow. 6 But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they can't be taken with the hand 7 But the man who touches them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place
8 These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth
a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against
eight hundred slain at one time. 9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai
the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they
defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the
men of Israel were gone away. 10 He arose, and struck the Philistines
until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked
a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take
spoil. 11 After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The
Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground
full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines. 12 But he stood
in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and
Yahweh worked a great victory. 13 Three of the thirty chief men went down,
and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop
of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 14 David was
then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in
Bethlehem. 15 David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to
drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! 16 The three mighty
men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well
of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but
he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh. 17 He said, Be it
far from me, Yahweh
