2Samuel:23:1-7

*
Now these are the last words of David :
The oracle of David ,
the son of Jesse ,
the oracle of the man who was raised on high ,
the anointed of the God of Jacob ,
the sweet psalmist of Israel :
* "
The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me ,
his word is upon 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 upon a cloudless morning ,
like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth .
*
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 ?
*
But godless men are all like thorns that are thrown away ;
for they cannot be taken with the hand ;
*
but the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear ,
and they are utterly consumed with fire ."
