The Last Words of David - 2 Samuel 23:3 - 4

"Now these be the last words of David. ... The spirit of the Lord spake by me, ... The God of Israel said, ... He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain."

And performed here in a piece by Randall Thompson.
