2 Samuel 23:2-4

International Standard Version

² The Spirit of the Lord speaks within^[a] me;
    his word is on my tongue!
³ The God of Israel has spoken;
    the Rock of Israel has talked to me.
“When one is governing men justly,
    he fears God while governing.
⁴ He is like dawn’s first^[b] light,
    like bright sun blazing on a cloudless morning,
        glistening on grassland that flourishes after a rain shower.
