Psalms 89:4

For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”

and I will give him the morning star.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.

I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

“Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”

“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.

Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

Yahweh is my portion. I promised to obey your words.

I cried to you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.

They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,

John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”

All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.’ ”

I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.

Then Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children are careful of their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘a man on the throne of Israel.’

Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me, and set me on my father David’s throne, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today.”

Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’

He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.

But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.

How you have fallen from heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come a governor, who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’ ”

In his name, the nations will hope.”

for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,

that your days and your children’s days may be multiplied in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

For Yahweh’s portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.

He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.” ’ ”

He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”

I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

“Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’

Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.

The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yahweh of Armies is his name.

Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’

Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

“Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

you shall surely set him whom Yahweh your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’

He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which Yahweh said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever;

I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress them.

The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”

But Solomon built him a house.

then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man on the throne of Israel.’

He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.

I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.

The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”

In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like Yahweh’s angel before them.

Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”

Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”

Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
