3 His delight will be in the fear of the Lord.

He will not judge

by what he sees with his eyes,f

he will not execute justice

by what he hears with his ears,

4 but he will judge the poor righteouslyg

and execute justice for the oppressed of the land.

He will strike the land

with a scepterB from his mouth,h

and he will kill the wickedi

with a commandC from his lips.j

5 Righteousness will be a belt around his hips;k

faithfulness will be a belt around his waist.
