2 Samuel 23:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 The spirit of the Lord spoke through me;
his word was on my tongue.(A)
3 The God of Israel spoke;
of me the Rock of Israel said,
“One who rules over humankind with justice,
who rules in the fear of God,(B)
4 Is like the light at sunrise
on a cloudless morning,
making the land’s vegetation glisten after rain.”(C)
