2 With right he shall thy people judge, Thy poor with [truth and] uprightness.
3 Then shall the mountains great and firm Bring to the [neighbour] people peace; So also shall the little hills By [pleasant] fruits of righteousness.
4 The poorest people he shall judge, And [he shall] save the poor and weak; And those that their oppressors are, [Cast down] he shall in pieces break.
5 And even from age to age shall they Reverence thy name, and [fear thy] might▪ As long as Sun doth shine by day, Or [as the] Moon doth shine by night.
