⁸ “You must tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] says: I took you from the pasture and from ·tending [following] the sheep and made you ·leader [ruler; prince] of my people Israel. ⁹ I have been with you everywhere you have gone and have ·defeated [destroyed; ^Lcut off] your enemies for you. I will make ·you as famous [^Lfor you a name as great] as any of the great people on the earth. ¹⁰ Also I will ·choose [appoint; provide] a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them ·so they can live in their own homes [^Lto dwell in their own place]. They will not be bothered anymore. Wicked people will no longer ·bother [afflict; oppress] them as they have in the past
