A king who rules like that is like the light of the sun at dawn.
    He is like the sky when it has no clouds in it in the morning.
He is like bright sun after rain,
    that helps the grass to grow strongly.”
That is how God will bless my descendants.
He has made a promise to me that will continue for ever.
    It is a strong promise that will never change.

    that you cannot pull out with your hands.
