2 Samuel 23:2-4

Common English Bible

² The Lord’s spirit speaks through me;
    his word is on my tongue.
³ Israel’s God has spoken,
    Israel’s rock said to me:
“Whoever rules rightly over people,
    whoever rules in the fear of God,
⁴     is like the light of sunrise
    on a morning with no clouds,
        like the bright gleam after the rain
        that brings grass from the ground.”
