2 Samuel 23

1 and these word David [the] last utterance David son: child Jesse and utterance [the] great man to arise: raise height anointed God Jacob and musical song Israel

Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:

2 spirit LORD to speak: speak in/on/with me and speech his upon tongue my

The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.

3 to say God Israel to/for me to speak: speak rock Israel to rule in/on/with man righteous to rule fear God

The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,

4 and like/as light morning to rise sun morning not cloud from brightness from rain grass from land: soil

It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.

But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:

7 and man: anyone to touch in/on/with them to fill iron and tree: stake spear and in/on/with fire to burn to burn in/on/with seat

But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
