17  learn to do good;

^lseek justice,

correct oppression;

^mbring justice to the fatherless,

plead the widow’s cause.

5  ^ythen a throne will be established in steadfast love,

and on it will sit in faithfulness

in the tent of David

one who judges and seeks justice

and is swift to do righteousness.”

1  Behold, ^oa king will reign in righteousness,

and princes will rule in justice.

2  ^pEach will be like a hiding place from the wind,

a shelter from the storm,

^qlike streams of water in a dry place,

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

8  ^gFor I the Lord love justice;

I hate robbery and wrong;¹

^hI will faithfully give them their recompense,

ⁱand I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
