2 Samuel 23:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ The God of Israel has spoken;
    the Rock of Israel has said of me:
‘He who rules people justly,
    who rules in the fear of God
⁴ is like the morning light at sunrise
    on a cloudless morning after rainfall
    that causes the grass of the earth to sparkle.’
⁵ “My house stands firm with God,
    for he has made an everlasting covenant with me,
    well ordered in all things and secure.
Will he not bring to fruition
    my salvation and my every desire?
