You exalt my horn like that of a wild ox. ¹  I am covered ²  with fresh oil.

While I was watching, that horn began to wage war against the holy ones and was defeating ¹  them,

Moab’s might will be crushed. Its power will be broken. ¹  I, the Lord, affirm it! ² 

With trumpets and the blaring of the ram’s horn, shout out praises before the king, the Lord!

The male goat ¹  is the king of Greece, ²  and the large horn between its eyes is the first king.

For you give them splendor and strength. ¹  By your favor we are victorious. ² 

There I will make David strong; ¹  I have determined that my chosen king’s dynasty will continue. ² 

For ¹  he has raised up ²  a horn of salvation ³  for us in the house of his servant David, ⁴ 

Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Sound the alarm in Beth Aven! ¹  Tremble in fear, ²  O Benjamin!

“As I was contemplating the horns, another horn – a small one – came up between them, and three of the former horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. ¹  This horn had eyes resembling human eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant ²  things.

¹ I say to the proud, “Do not be proud,” and to the wicked, “Do not be so confident of victory! ² 

Do not be so certain you have won! ¹  Do not speak with your head held so high! ² 

I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, ¹  and buried ²  my horn ³  in the dust;

I also wanted to know ¹  the meaning of the ten horns on its head, and of that other horn which came up and before which three others fell. This was the horn that had eyes ²  and a mouth speaking arrogant things, whose appearance was more formidable than the others. ³ 

While I was contemplating all this, ¹  a male goat ²  was coming from the west over the surface of all the land ³  without touching the ground. This goat had a conspicuous horn ⁴  between its eyes.

The male goat acted even more arrogantly. But no sooner had the large horn become strong than it was broken, and there arose four conspicuous horns ¹  in its place, ²  extending toward the four winds of the sky. ³ 

He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love, ¹  and by my name he will win victories. ² 

He generously gives ¹  to the needy; his integrity endures. ²  He will be vindicated and honored. ³ 

He has made his people victorious, ¹  and given all his loyal followers reason to praise – the Israelites, the people who are close to him. ²  Praise the Lord!

Zadok the priest took a horn filled with olive oil ¹  from the tent and poured it on ²  Solomon; the trumpet was blown and all the people declared, “Long live King Solomon!”
