2 Samuel 23:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ He shall be as the light of the morning;

A cloudless sunrise

When the tender grass

Springs forth upon the earth;

As sunshine after rain.’

⁵ And it is my family

He has chosen!

Yes, God has made

An everlasting covenant with me;

His agreement is eternal, final, sealed.

He will constantly look after

My safety and success.^[a]

⁶ But the godless are as thorns to be thrown away,

For they tear the hand that touches them.
