And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 23 of 2 Samuel. David’s last words present the king as one who received a word from the God of Jacob and whose ideal function is to rule with justice and the fear of God. The image of morning light after rain expresses hope for a government that produces life. David acknowledges that God established an everlasting covenant with him, even though his own house has not perfectly fulfilled the royal ideal. The passage thus maintains the tension between divine promise and human failure.

und ist wie das Licht des Morgens, wenn die Sonne aufgeht, am Morgen ohne Wolken, da vom Glanz nach dem Regen das Gras aus der Erde wächst.
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.
es como la luz de la mañana al salir el sol, como una mañana sin nubes, como el resplandor después de la lluvia que hace brotar la hierba de la tierra”.
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.
Ed egli sarà come la luce della mattina, quando il sole si leva; Di una mattina senza nuvole; Come l’erba che nasce dalla terra per lo sole, e per la pioggia.
E será como a luz da manhã, quando sai o sol, da manhã sem nuvens, quando pelo seu resplendor e pela chuva a erva brota da terra.
他必像晨光, 如無雲清晨的日出, 如雨後的光輝, 在嫩草地上。』
