¹⁰ Inspired decisions are on the lips of a king;
    his mouth does not sin in judgment.

32 See, a king will reign in righteousness,
    and princes^[a] will rule with justice.^(A)
2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,
    a covert from the tempest,
like streams of water in a dry place,
    like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.^(B)

⁷ Ah, you who turn justice to wormwood
    and bring righteousness to the ground!

⁴ They utter mere words;
    with empty oaths they make covenants;
so litigation springs up like poisonous weeds
    in the furrows of the field.^(A)

¹² It is an abomination to kings to do evil,
    for the throne is established by righteousness.^(A)
13 Righteous lips are the delight of a king,
    and he loves those who speak what is right.^(B)

¹ Give the king your justice, O God,
    and your righteousness to a king’s son.^(A)
2 May he judge your people with righteousness
    and your poor with justice.^(B)
3 May the mountains yield prosperity for the people,
    and the hills, in righteousness.^(C)
4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people,
    give deliverance to the needy,
    and crush the oppressor.^(D)
