2 Samuel 23:2-4

Good News Translation

² The spirit of the Lord speaks through me;
    his message is on my lips.
³ The God of Israel has spoken;
    the protector of Israel said to me:
“The king who rules with justice,
    who rules in obedience to God,
⁴ is like the sun shining on a cloudless dawn,
    the sun that makes the grass sparkle after rain.”
