“Yahweh’s Spirit spoke by me.
    His word was on my tongue.
The God of Israel said,
    the Rock of Israel spoke to me,
    ‘One who rules over men righteously,
    who rules in the fear of God,
shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises,
    a morning without clouds,
    when the tender grass springs out of the earth,
    through clear shining after rain.’

‘When one rules over people in righteousness,(C)
    when he rules in the fear(D) of God,(E)
he is like the light(F) of morning(G) at sunrise(H)
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain(I)
    that brings grass from the earth.’
