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.
