72 Give the king ^(A)Your judgments, God,
And ^(B)Your righteousness to the king’s son.
^2 [a]May ^[b]he ^(C)judge Your people with righteousness
And ^[c](D)Your afflicted with justice.
^3 [d]May the mountains bring ^[e](E)peace to the people,
And the hills, in righteousness.

11 Then a ^(A)shoot will spring from the ^(B)stem of Jesse,
And a ^(C)Branch from ^(D)his roots will bear fruit.
² The ^(E)Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of ^(F)wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and ^(G)strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
³ And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes ^(H)see,
Nor make decisions by what His ears hear;
⁴ But with ^(I)righteousness He will judge the ^(J)poor,
And decide with fairness for the ^(K)humble of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the ^(L)rod of His mouth,
And with the ^(M)breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
⁵ Also ^(N)righteousness will be the belt around His hips,
And ^(O)faithfulness the belt around His waist.
