72 O God, give the king ^(A)Your judgments,
And ^(B)Your righteousness to the king’s son.
^2 [a]May ^[b]he ^(C)render judgment to Your people with righteousness
And ^(D)Your ^[c]afflicted with justice.
³ Let the mountains lift up ^[d](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 Yahweh will rest on Him,
The spirit of ^(F)wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and ^(G)might,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh.
³ And He will delight in the fear of Yahweh,
And He will not judge by what His eyes ^(H)see,
Nor render a decision by what His ears hear;
⁴ But with ^(I)righteousness He will judge the ^(J)poor,
And decide with uprightness for the ^(K)afflicted 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 put the wicked to death.
⁵ Also ^(N)righteousness will be the belt about His loins,
And ^(O)faithfulness the belt about His waist.
