2 Samuel 23:4-6
Revised Standard Version
2 Samuel 23:4-6
Revised Standard Version
4 he dawns on them like the morning light,
like the sun shining forth upon a cloudless morning,
like rain[a] that makes grass to sprout from the earth.
5 Yea, does not my house stand so with God?
For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
ordered in all things and secure.
For will he not cause to prosper
all my help and my desire?
6 But godless men[b] are all like thorns that are thrown away;
for they cannot be taken with the hand;
