O Radix Jesse
Latin:
- O Radix Jesse, qui stas in signum populorum,
- super quem continebunt reges os suum,
- quem Gentes deprecabuntur:
- veni ad liberandum nos, jam noli tardare.
English:
- O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign among the peoples;
- before you kings will shut their mouths,
- to you the nations will make their prayer:
- Come and deliver us, and delay no longer.
Isaiah had prophesied:
- "A shoot shall come out from the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots." Isaiah 11:1
- "On that day the root of Jesse shall stand as a signal to the
peoples; the nations shall inquire of him, and his dwelling shall be
glorious." Isaiah 11:10
Jesse was the father of King David, and
Micah had prophesied that the Messiah would be of the house and lineage of David and be born in David’s city,
Bethlehem (
Micah 5:2). Also compare
Isaiah 45:14,
Isaiah 52:15 and
Romans 15:12.
