3. The God of Israel has spoken;the protector of Israel said to me:“The king who rules with justice,who rules in obedience to God,
4. is like the sun shining on a cloudless dawn,the sun that makes the grass sparkle after rain.”
5. And that is how God will bless my descendants,because he has made an eternal covenant with me,an agreement that will not be broken,a promise that will not be changed.That is all I desire;that will be my victory,and God will surely bring it about.
6. But godless people are like thorns that are thrown away;no one can touch them with bare hands.
