Listen closely to what I say.
    Listen to me so that you will live.
I will make an agreement with you that will last forever.
    It will be an agreement you can trust, like the one I made with David—
    a promise to love him and be loyal to him forever.
I made David a witness of my power for all nations.
    I promised him that he would become a ruler and commander of many nations.”

There are nations in places you don’t know,
    but you will call for them to come.
They don’t know you,
    but they will run to you.
This will happen because the Lord, your God, wants it.
    It will happen because the Holy One of Israel honors you.

See, I have made him a witness(F) to the peoples,
    a ruler and commander(G) of the peoples.
Surely you will summon nations(H) you know not,

because of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One(J) of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.”(K)
