2 Samuel 23:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² “The Spirit of the Lord has spoken through me;
    his word is on my tongue.
³ The God of Israel has spoken;
    the Rock of Israel has said of me:
‘He who rules people justly,
    who rules in the fear of God
⁴ is like the morning light at sunrise
    on a cloudless morning after rainfall
    that causes the grass of the earth to sparkle.’
