2 Samuel 23:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² “The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me.
His words were on my tongue.
³ The God of Israel spoke to them.
The rock of Israel told me,
‘The one who rules humans with justice rules with the fear of God.
⁴ He is like the morning light as the sun rises,
like a morning without clouds,
like the brightness after a rainstorm.
The rain makes the grass grow from the earth.’
