"I will bring forth a king from thee
And set him on thy throne".

And set him on thy throne".

With bread will satisfy;

Her saints shall shout for joy.

With many a royal son;

For mine anointed one.
With many a royal son;
I have ordained a lamp for him,
For mine anointed one.

His enemies with shame;
His kingdom, though, shall flourish and
Bring honour to his name."
His enemies with shame;
His kingdom, though, shall flourish and
Bring honour to his name."
