2Samuel:23:1-7

*
Now these be the last words of David .
David the son of Jesse said ,
and the man who was raised up on high ,
the anointed of the God of Jacob ,
and the sweet psalmist of Israel ,
said ,
*
The Spirit of the LORD spake by me ,
and his word was in my tongue .
*
The God of Israel said ,
the Rock of Israel spake to me ,
He that ruleth over men must be just ,
ruling in the fear of God .
*
And he shall be as the light of the morning ,
when the sun riseth ,
even a morning without clouds ;
as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain .
*
Although my house be not so with God ;
yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant ,
ordered in all things ,
and sure :
for this is all my salvation ,
and all my desire ,
although he make it not to grow .
*
But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away ,
because they cannot be taken with hands :
*
But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear ;
and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place .
