2Samuel:23:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And these are the last words of David ,
the saying of David the son of Jesse ,
and the saying of the man raised on high ,
the anointed of the God of Jacob ,
and the sweet singer of Israel :
*
The Spirit of Jehovah has spoken by me ,
and His Word is on my tongue .
*
The God of Israel said ,
the Rock of Israel spoke to me :
One ruling over man righteously ,
who rules in the fear of God ,
*
is as the light of the morning ,
as the sun shines ;
a morning without clouds ;
through shining after rain the tender grass sprouts from the earth .
*
For is not my house so with God ?
For He has made an everlasting covenant with me ,
ordered in all things ,
and sure ;
for all my salvation ,
and all my desire ,
will He not make it grow ?
*
As to the ungodly ,
all of them shall be as a thorn driven away ;
for they cannot be taken by the hand ;
*
but the man who shall touch them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear ;
they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place .
