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.
And he will be like the light of morning when the sun rises, like a clear morning without any clouds; like fresh grass growing from the earth after a gentle rain when the sun shines brightly.
This verse describes how a righteous ruler will bring refreshment, growth, and clarity to people's lives, like sunshine after rain brings new life to the earth.
