2 Samuel 23:3-5

English Standard Version Anglicised

³ The God of Israel has spoken;
    ^(A)the Rock of Israel has said to me:
When one rules justly over men,
    ruling ^(B)in the fear of God,
⁴ he ^(C)dawns on them like the morning light,
    like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,
    like rain^[a] that makes grass to sprout from the earth.
⁵ “For does not my house stand so with God?
    ^(D)For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
    ordered in all things and secure.
For will he not cause to prosper
    all my help and my desire?
