Then they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel. | 11:1-3 |

| 007 | Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all. | 29:11 |
| 008 | Both riches and honour come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. | 29:12 |
