Peace at Last

11 (A) Like a branch that sprouts
    from a stump,
someone from David's family[a]
    will someday be king.
The Spirit of the Lord
    will be with him
to give him understanding,
    wisdom, and insight.
He will be powerful,
and he will know
    and honor the Lord.
His greatest joy will be
    to obey the Lord.

This king won't judge
by appearances
    or listen to rumors.
