2 Samuel 23:2

Chapter 23

The Last Words of David

1These are the last words of David:
“The oracle of David son of Jesse,
the oracle of the man exalted by the Most High,
the man anointed by the God of Jacob,
Israel's singer of songsOr Israel's beloved singer:

2“The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me;
his word was on my tongue.

3The God of Israel spoke,
the Rock of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over men in righteousness,
when he rules in the fear of God,

4he is like the light of morning at sunrise
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain
that brings the grass from the earth.’

5“Is not my house right with God?
Has he not made with me an everlasting covenant,
arranged and secured in every part?
Will he not bring to fruition my salvation
and grant me my every desire?

6But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,
which are not gathered with the hand.

7Whoever touches thorns
uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;
they are burned up where they lie.”
