2 Samuel 23:4-6

The Voice

⁴    Is like the morning light,
        the sun rising on a cloudless morning,
        and the shining grasslands brought up from rain.”

⁵    Isn’t this how God has raised up my house?
        Because He has made a perpetual covenant with me,
        well-ordered and secure,
    Won’t He make all things to grow and prosper,
        save me, and give me all I desire?
⁶    But the wicked are like thorns cut off and tossed away
        that can’t be picked up with your hands;
