2 Samuel 23:4-6
International Standard Version
4 He is like dawn’s first[a] light,
like bright sun blazing on a cloudless morning,
glistening on grassland that flourishes after a rain shower.
5 Is not my dynasty[b] like this with God?
Has he not made an eternal covenant with me,
preparing every detail of it?
And he has made it secure,
including my complete[c] salvation, has he not?
He has been of continual [d] help, has he not,
even with respect to all of my desires?

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.
