2 Samuel 23:3 in Context — 2 Samuel 23
1 ESTAS son las postreras palabras de David. Dijo David hijo de Isaí, dijo aquel varón que fué levantado alto, el ungido del Dios de Jacob, el suave en cánticos de Israel:
2 El espíritu de Jehová ha hablado por mí, y su palabra ha sido en mi lengua.
3 El Dios de Israel ha dicho, hablóme el Fuerte de Israel: El señoreador de los hombres será justo, señoreador en temor de Dios.
4 [Será] como la luz de la mañana cuando sale el sol, de la mañana sin nubes; [cuando] la hierba de la tierra [brota] por medio del resplandor después de la lluvia.
5 No así mi casa para con Dios: sin embargo él ha hecho conmigo pacto perpetuo, ordenado en todas las cosas, y será guardado; bien que toda [esta] mi salud, y todo [mi] deseo no [lo] haga él florecer todavía.
