1. Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.
2. Each will be like a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.
3. Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4. The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
5. No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
6. For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
