God’s Spirit spoke through me,his words took shape on my tongue.The God of Israel spoke to me,Israel’s Rock-Mountain said,“Whoever governs fairly and well,who rules in the Fear-of-God,Is like first light at daybreakwithout a cloud in the sky,Like green grass carpeting earth,glistening under fresh rain.”And this is just how my regime has been,for God guaranteed his covenant with me,Spelled it out plainlyand kept every promised word—My entire salvation,my every desire.But the devil’s henchmen are like thornsculled and piled as trash;Better not try to touch them;keep your distance with a rake or hoe.They’ll make a glorious bonfire!
