The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
