2 Samuel 23:3-5
English Standard Version
2 Samuel 23:3-5
English Standard Version
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?
