2 Samuel 23:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

² “The Spirit of Adonai spoke through me,
his word was on my tongue.
³ The God of Isra’el spoke;
the Rock of Isra’el said to me,
‘A ruler over people must be upright,
ruling in the fear of God;
⁴ like the morning light at sunrise
on a cloudless day
that makes the grass on the earth
sparkle after a rain.’
