2 Samuel 23:1-4

English Standard Version

The oracle of David, the son of Jesse,
    the oracle of ^(A)the man who was raised on high,
^(B)the anointed of the God of Jacob,
    the sweet psalmist of Israel:^[a]

^2 (C)“The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me;
    his word is on my tongue.
³ The God of Israel has spoken;
    ^(D)the Rock of Israel has said to me:
When one rules justly over men,
    ruling ^(E)in the fear of God,
⁴ he ^(F)dawns on them like the morning light,
    like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,
    like rain^[b] that makes grass to sprout from the earth.
