2 Samuel 23:1–5 (KJV) 

Now these be the last words of David. 

David the son of Jesse said, 

And the man who was raised up on high, 

The anointed of the God of Jacob, 

And the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, 

2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, 

And his word was in my tongue. 

3 The God of Israel said, 

The Rock of Israel spake to me, 

He that ruleth over men must be just, 

Ruling in the fear of God. 

4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, 

Even a morning without clouds; 

As the tender grass springing out of the earth 

By clear shining after rain. 

5 Although my house be not so with God; 

Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, 

Ordered in all things, and sure: 

For this is all my salvation, and all my desire, 

Although he make it not to grow.
