2 Samuel 23:2-4

New American Standard Bible

² “^(A)The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me,
And His word was on my tongue.
³ The God of Israel said it;
^(B)The Rock of Israel spoke to me:
‘^(C)He who rules over mankind righteously,
^(D)Who rules in the fear of God,
^4 (E)Is like the light of the morning when the sun rises,
A morning without clouds,
When the fresh grass springs out of the earth
From sunshine after rain.’
