A song of ascents.Lord, remember David
and all the hardships he endured,

Because of Your servant David,
do not reject Your anointed one.

The Lord swore an oath to David,
a promise He will not abandon:
“I will set one of your descendants
on your throne.

There I will make a horn grow for David;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

the One who gives victory to kings,
who frees His servant David
from the deadly sword.

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Your neck is like the tower of David,
constructed in layers.
A thousand bucklers are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.

When it became known to the house of David that Aram had occupied Ephraim, the heart of Ahaz and the hearts of his people trembled like trees of a forest shaking in the wind.

Isaiah said, “Listen, house of David! Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men? Will you also try the patience of my God?

The dominion will be vast,
and its prosperity will never end.
He will reign on the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
to establish and sustain it
with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this.

Then in the tent of David
a throne will be established by faithful love.
A judge who seeks what is right
and is quick to execute justice
will sit on the throne forever.

You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the city of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.

Woe to Ariel, Ariel,
the city where David camped!
Continue year after year;
let the festivals recur.

I will defend this city and rescue it
because of Me
and because of My servant David.”

“Go and tell Hezekiah that this is what the Lord God of your ancestor David says: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I am going to add 15 years to your life.

Pay attention and come to Me;
listen, so that you will live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
the promises assured to David.

And you will say to them: This is what the Lord says: I am about to fill all who live in this land—the kings who reign for David on his throne, the priests, the prophets and all the residents of Jerusalem—with drunkenness.

kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses with their officials, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem. This city will be inhabited forever.

House of David, this is what the Lord says:

Administer justice every morning,
and rescue the victim of robbery
from the hand of his oppressor,
or My anger will flare up like fire
and burn unquenchably
because of their evil deeds.

You are to say: Hear the word of the Lord, king of Judah, you who sit on the throne of David—you, your officers, and your people who enter these gates.

For if you conscientiously carry out this word, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they, their officers, and their people.

This is what the Lord says:

Record this man as childless,
a man who will not be successful in his lifetime.
None of his descendants will succeed
in sitting on the throne of David
or ruling again in Judah.

“The days are coming”—this is the Lord’s declaration—
“when I will raise up a Righteous Branch of David.
He will reign wisely as king
and administer justice and righteousness in the land.

But this is what the Lord says concerning the king sitting on David’s throne and concerning all the people living in this city—that is, concerning your brothers who did not go with you into exile.

They will serve the Lord their God and I will raise up David their king for them.”

In those days and at that time
I will cause a Righteous Branch
to sprout up for David,
and He will administer justice
and righteousness in the land.

“For this is what the Lord says: David will never fail to have a man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel.

then also My covenant with My servant David may be broken so that he will not have a son reigning on his throne, and the Levitical priests will not be My ministers.

The hosts of heaven cannot be counted; the sand of the sea cannot be measured. So, too, I will make the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister to Me innumerable.”

then I might also reject the seed of Jacob and of My servant David—not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.”

Therefore, this is what the Lord says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his corpse will be thrown out to be exposed to the heat of day and the frost of night.

I will appoint over them a single shepherd, My servant David, and he will shepherd them. He will tend them himself and will be their shepherd.

I, Yahweh, will be their God, and My servant David will be a prince among them. I, Yahweh, have spoken.

My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances, and keep My statutes and obey them.

“They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live in it forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.

Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They will come with awe to the Lord and to His goodness in the last days.

They improvise songs to the sound of the harp
and invent their own musical instruments like David.

In that day
I will restore the fallen booth of David:
I will repair its gaps,
restore its ruins,
and rebuild it as in the days of old,

The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of David’s house and the glory of Jerusalem’s residents may not be greater than that of Judah.

On that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that on that day the one who is weakest among them will be like David on that day, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the Lord, before them.

“Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at Me whom they pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for Him as one weeps for a firstborn.

The land will mourn, every family by itself: the family of David’s house by itself and their women by themselves; the family of Nathan’s house by itself and their women by themselves;

“On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the residents of Jerusalem, to wash away sin and impurity.

The historical record of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:

and Jesse fathered King David.

Then David fathered Solomon by Uriah’s wife,

So all the generations from Abraham to David were 14 generations; and from David until the exile to Babylon, 14 generations; and from the exile to Babylon until the Messiah, 14 generations.

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, shouting, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

He said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry—

And all the crowds were astounded and said, “Perhaps this is the Son of David!”

Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly tormented by a demon.”

There were two blind men sitting by the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

The crowd told them to keep quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”

Then the crowds who went ahead of Him and those who followed kept shouting:

Hosanna to the Son of David!
He who comes in the name
of the Lord is the blessed One!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!

When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders that He did and the children shouting in the temple complex, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant

“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?”

“David’s,” they told Him.

He asked them, “How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls Him ‘Lord’:

“If David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how then can the Messiah be his Son?”

He said to them, “Have you never read what David and those who were with him did when he was in need and hungry—

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”

Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me, Son of David!”

The coming kingdom
of our father David is blessed!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!

So Jesus asked this question as He taught in the temple complex, “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the Son of David?

David himself says by the Holy Spirit:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand
until I put Your enemies under Your feet.’

David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how then can the Messiah be his Son?” And the large crowd was listening to Him with delight.

to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

He will be great
and will be called the Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give Him
the throne of His father David.

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of His servant David,

And Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David,

Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David.

son of Melea,
son of Menna, son of Mattatha,
son of Nathan, son of David,

Jesus answered them, “Haven’t you read what David and those who were with him did when he was hungry—

So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Then those in front told him to keep quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Then He said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is the Son of David?

For David himself says in the Book of Psalms:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand

David calls Him ‘Lord’; how then can the Messiah be his Son?”

Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David’s offspring and from the town of Bethlehem, where David once lived?”

“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke in advance about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.

For David says of Him:

I saw the Lord ever before me;
because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

“Brothers, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand

You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David Your servant:

Why did the Gentiles rage
and the peoples plot futile things?

Our ancestors in turn received it and with Joshua brought it in when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our fathers, until the days of David.

After removing him, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man loyal to Me, who will carry out all My will.’

Since He raised Him from the dead, never to return to decay, He has spoken in this way, I will grant you the faithful covenant blessings made to David.

For David, after serving his own generation in God’s plan, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and decayed.

After these things I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.
I will rebuild its ruins
and set it up again,

concerning His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh

Likewise, David also speaks of the blessing of the man God credits righteousness to apart from works:

And David says:

Let their feasting become a snare and a trap,
a pitfall and a retribution to them.

Keep your attention on Jesus Christ as risen from the dead and descended from David. This is according to my gospel.

again, He specifies a certain day—today—speaking through David after such a long time, as previously stated:

Today, if you hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts.

And what more can I say? Time is too short for me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,

“Write to the angel of the church in Philadelphia:

“The Holy One, the True One, the One who has the key of David, who opens and no one will close, and closes and no one opens says:

Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has been victorious so that He may open the scroll and its seven seals.”

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star.”
