[Verse 1] David defeats the Philistines and takes their controlling city. David strikes Hadadezer while the Syrian king seeks to recover his border. Garrisons are placed in Syria, and tribute is brought. Toi sends his son Joram with vessels of silver, gold. [Pre-Chorus] No crowd could see the faithfulness begun, But quiet mercy worked when day was done. [Chorus] At the King's Table Continually, hold the promise near, Through the quiet road and changing year. A faithful heart kept walking without fame, And mercy wrote a future in the name. [Verse 2] Joab, Jehoshaphat, Zadok, Ahimelech, and other officers hold defined offices. David asks whether anyone remains of Saul's house for Jonathan's sake. Ziba is summoned and confirms that Jonathan has a lame son. He falls before David in fear and identifies himself as the king's servant. [Bridge] Saul's land is restored, and Mephibosheth receives a permanent place at David's table. Mephibosheth calls himself a dead dog before the king's mercy. Ziba and his household are commanded to cultivate the restored estate. Mephibosheth lives in Jerusalem and eats continually as one of the king's sons. [Final Chorus] At the King's Table Continually, hold the promise near, Through the quiet road and changing year. A faithful heart kept walking without fame, And mercy wrote a future through the name. [Outro] The years moved on, the faithful promise stayed. Mercy was larger than the quiet choice they made.
