2 Samuel 23:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 The God of Israel said,
(A)The Rock of Israel spoke to me,
‘(B)He who rules over men as a righteous one,
(C)Who rules in the fear of God,
4 (D)Is as the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
From brightness of the sun after rain.’
With the tender grass springing from the earth,
5 [a]Truly is not my house so with God?
For (E)He has made an everlasting covenant with me,
Ordered in all things, and secured;
For all my salvation and all my desire,
Will He not indeed make it grow?

- 2 Samuel 23:5 Or But my house is not so with God
2 Samuel 23:3-5
New International Version
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.
