American Standard Version
2 Samuel 23:4-6
American Standard Version
4 He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,
A morning without clouds,
When the tender grass springeth out of the earth,
Through clear shining after rain.
5 [a]Verily my house is not so with God;
Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant,
Ordered in all things, and sure:
For it is all my salvation, and all my desire,
Although he maketh it not to grow.
6 But [b]the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away,
Because they cannot be taken with the hand;

2 Samuel 23:4-6
New International Version
4 he is like the light(A) of morning(B) at sunrise(C)
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain(D)
that brings grass from the earth.’
5 “If my house were not right with God,
surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,(E)
arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
and grant me my every desire.
6 But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,(F)
which are not gathered with the hand.
