Psalm 21:2-7 and 1 Samuel 9:1-4, 17-19; 10:1

Psalm 21:2-7
2 In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly.
3 You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips.
4 For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.
5 He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.
6 Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.
7 For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.

18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel, at the middle of the gate, and he said, "Tell me, I beg you: where is the house of the seer?"
19 And Samuel responded to Saul, saying: "I am the seer. Ascend before me to the high place, so that you may eat with me today. And I will send you away in the morning. And I shall reveal to you everything that is in your heart.
1 Then Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it on his head. And he kissed him, and said: "Behold, the Lord has anointed you as first ruler over his inheritance. And you shall free his people from the hands of their enemies, who are all around them. And this shall be a sign for you that God has anointed you as ruler:
