2 Samuel 23:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴He is like dawn’s first^[a] light,
like bright sun blazing on a cloudless morning,
glistening on grassland that flourishes after a rain shower.

⁵Is not my dynasty^[b] like this with God?
    Has he not made an eternal covenant with me,
        preparing every detail of it?
And he has made it secure,
    including my complete^[c] salvation, has he not?
He has been of continual ^[d] help, has he not,
    even with respect to all of my desires?

⁶But ungodly men^[e] are like thorns that are discarded
because they cannot be safely^[f] handled.
