2 Samuel 23:3 in Context — 2 Samuel 23
1 Voici les dernières paroles de David. Parole de David, fils d’Isaï, Parole de l’homme haut placé, De l’oint du Dieu de Jacob, Du chantre agréable d’Israël.
2 L’esprit de l’Éternel parle par moi, Et sa parole est sur ma langue.
3 Le Dieu d’Israël a parlé, Le rocher d’Israël m’a dit: Celui qui règne parmi les hommes avec justice, Celui qui règne dans la crainte de Dieu,
4 Est pareil à la lumière du matin, quand le soleil brille Et que la matinée est sans nuages; Ses rayons après la pluie font sortir de terre la verdure.
5 N’en est-il pas ainsi de ma maison devant Dieu, Puisqu’il a fait avec moi une alliance éternelle, En tous points bien réglée et offrant pleine sécurité? Ne fera-t-il pas germer tout mon salut et tous mes désirs?
