7:8 “So now, say this to my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd 1 to make you leader of my people Israel. 7:9 I was with you wherever you went, and I defeated 2 all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth. 3
12:7 Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the Lord God of Israel says: ‘I chose 4 you to be king over Israel and I rescued you from the hand of Saul. 12:8 I gave you your master’s house, and put your master’s wives into your arms. 5 I also gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all that somehow seems insignificant, I would have given you so much more as well!
22:51 He gives his chosen king magnificent victories; 6
he is faithful to his chosen ruler, 7
to David and to his descendants forever!”
23:1 These are the final words of David:
“The oracle of David son of Jesse,
the oracle of the man raised up as
the ruler chosen by the God of Jacob, 8
Israel’s beloved 9 singer of songs:
86:13 For you will extend your great loyal love to me, 10
and will deliver my life 11 from the depths of Sheol. 12
89:20 I have discovered David, my servant.
With my holy oil I have anointed him as king. 13
89:21 My hand will support him, 14
and my arm will strengthen him.
89:22 No enemy will be able to exact tribute 15 from him; 16
a violent oppressor will not be able to humiliate him. 17
89:23 I will crush his enemies before him;
I will strike down those who hate him.
89:24 He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love, 18
and by my name he will win victories. 19
89:25 I will place his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the rivers. 20
89:26 He will call out to me,
‘You are my father, 21 my God, and the protector who delivers me.’ 22
89:27 I will appoint him to be my firstborn son, 23
the most exalted of the earth’s kings.
89:28 I will always extend my loyal love to him,
and my covenant with him is secure. 24
89:49 Where are your earlier faithful deeds, 25 O Lord, 26
the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David? 27
55:3 Pay attention and come to me!
Listen, so you can live! 28
Then I will make an unconditional covenantal promise to 29 you,
just like the reliable covenantal promises I made to David. 30
