He is my God,
the Rock I run to for protection.
God is my shield.
His power saves me. [136] The Lord is my hiding place,
my place of safety,
high in the hills.
He saves me from the cruel enemy.
Then your name will be honored forever. People will say, ‘The Lord God All-Powerful rules Israel! And may the family of your servant David continue to be strong in serving you.’
Still, I will not tear away all of the kingdom from your son. I will leave him one family group to rule. I will do this for David—He was a good servant. And I will do this for Jerusalem—That is the city I chose.”
The Lord is my Rock, {\cf2\super [97]} \par my Fortress, {\cf2\super [98]} \par my Place of Safety.”\par My God is my Rock.\par I run to him for protection.\par God is my shield.\par His power saves me. {\cf2\super [99]} \par The Lord is my hiding place\par high in the hills.\par
The people of Israel and Judah will not serve foreign countries. No! They will serve the Lord their God. And they will serve David their king, {\cf2\super [236]} I will send that king to them.
“David’s tent {\cf2\super [118]} has fallen,\par but at that time,\par I will set his tent up again.\par I will fix the holes in the walls.\par I will build the ruined buildings again.\par I will build it like it was before.\par
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to tell you these things for the churches (groups of believers). I am the descendant {\cf2\super [176]} from the family of David. {\cf2\super [177]} I am the bright morning star.”
The Lord destroys his enemies.
God Most-High will thunder in heaven against people.
The Lord will judge even the faraway lands.
He will give power to his king.
He will make his special king strong.”
