42 Yahweh God, don't turn away the face of your anointed: remember [your] loving kindnesses to David your servant.
Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Now I ask one petition of you; don't deny me. She said to him, Say on.
The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed,{The word "anointed" is the same as the word for "Messiah" or "Christ"} saying,
I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.
For your servant David's sake, Don't turn away the face of your anointed one.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 5 & 6
The words with which chapter five begins are the same with 1 Kings 7:51 and what is contained in that and chapter six is much the same with 1 Kings 8:1 on which see the notes; the blessing of Solomon on the people of Israel, which is there, is here omitted, and two verses are here added, much the same with Psalm 132:8.
