2 Samuel 23:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴     is like the light of sunrise
    on a morning with no clouds,
        like the bright gleam after the rain
        that brings grass from the ground.”
⁵ Yes, my house is this way with God!^[a]
    He has made an eternal covenant with me,
    laid out and secure in every detail.
Yes, he provides every one of my victories
    and brings my every desire to pass.
⁶ But despicable people are like thorns,
    all of them good for nothing,
    because they can’t be carried by hand.
