³ The God of Israel spoke,
    the Rock^(A) of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,^(B)
    when he rules in the fear^(C) of God,^(D)
4 he is like the light^(E) of morning^(F) at sunrise^(G)
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain^(H)
    that brings grass from the earth.’

⁵ “If my house were not right with God,
    surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,^(I)
    arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
    and grant me my every desire.
