1 See, a king will reign in righteousness

and rulers will rule with justice.

2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind

and a refuge from the storm,

like streams of water in the desert

and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.

3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,

and the ears of those who hear will listen.

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,

and princes will rule in justice.

2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,

a shelter from the storm,

like streams of water in a dry place,

like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.

3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,

and the ears of those who hear will give attention.

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness,

And princes shall rule in judgment.

2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind,

And a covert from the tempest;

As rivers of water in a dry place,

As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim,

And the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

1 Look, a righteous king is coming!

And honest princes will rule under him.

2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind

and a refuge from the storm,

like streams of water in the desert

and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.

3 Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth,

and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it.

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,

And princes will rule with justice.

2 A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,

And a cover from the tempest,

As rivers of water in a dry place,

As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

3 The eyes of those who see will not be dim,

And the ears of those who hear will listen.

1 A king will rule in a way that brings justice,

and leaders will make fair decisions.

2 Then each ruler will be like a shelter from the wind,

like a safe place in a storm,

like streams of water in a dry land,

like a cool shadow from a large rock in a hot land.

3 People will look to the king for help,

and they will truly listen to what he says.

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice. 2 And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land. 3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

1 A king will rule with fairness, 

and officials will rule with justice. 

2 Then each ruler will be like a shelter from the wind 

and a hiding place from the rain. 

They will be like streams on parched ground 

and the shade of a large rock in a weary land. 

3 Then the vision of those who can see won’t be blurred, 

and the ears of those who can hear will pay attention. 

1 Indeed, a king will reign righteously,

and rulers will rule justly.

2 Each will be like a shelter from the wind,

a refuge from the rain,

like streams of water in a dry land

and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.

3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,

and the ears of those who hear will listen.

1 See, a king will reign in righteousness,

and princes will rule with justice.

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.

3 Then the eyes of those who have sight will not be closed,

and the ears of those who have hearing will listen.

1 See, a king will rule according to righteousness,

and princes will rule according to justice.

2 And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind

and a covering from the rainstorm,

like streams of water in a dry region,

like the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

3 And the eyes of those who see will not gaze,

and the ears of those who hear will listen.

1 A king will come who will do what is right.

His officials will govern fairly.

2 Each man will be like a place to get out of the wind.

He will be like a place to hide from storms.

He’ll be like streams of water flowing in the desert.

He’ll be like the shadow of a huge rock in a dry and thirsty land.

3 Then the eyes of those who see won’t be closed anymore.

The ears of those who hear will listen to the truth.

1 Behold, a king will reign righteously

And princes will rule justly.

2 Each will be like a refuge from the wind

And a shelter from the storm,

Like streams of water in a dry country,

Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.

3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded,

And the ears of those who hear will listen.
