2 Samuel 23:2-4
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
2 “The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me,
his word is upon my tongue.
3 The God of Israel has spoken,
the Rock of Israel has said to me:
When one rules justly over men,
ruling in the fear of God,
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.
