2 Samuel 23

"The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me;

his word is on my tongue.

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,

he dawns on them like the morning light,

like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,

like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.

and I am saved from my enemies.
