2 Samuel 23:4-6
New English Translation
2 Samuel 23:4-6
New English Translation
4 is like the light of morning when the sun comes up,
a morning in which there are no clouds.
He is like the brightness after rain
that produces grass from the earth.
5 My dynasty is approved by God,[a]
for he has made a perpetual covenant with me,
arranged in all its particulars and secured.
He always delivers me,
and brings all I desire to fruition.[b]
6 But evil people are like thorns—
all of them are tossed away,
for they cannot be held in the hand.
