2 Samuel 23:3-5
Modern English Version
2 Samuel 23:3-5
Modern English Version
3 The God of Israel said,
the Rock of Israel spoke to me:
He who rules over man justly,
who rules in the fear of God,
4 is like the light of the morning when the sun rises,
a morning with no clouds,
gleaming after the rain
like grass from the land.
5 Is not my house like this with God?
For He made an everlasting covenant with me,
ordered in all things and secure.
For this is all my salvation and all my desire;
will He not make it flourish?
2 Samuel 23:3-5
New International Version
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.
