‘He who rules over men righteously,

Who rules in the fear of God,

May he judge Your people with righteousness

Your afflicted with justice.

You have established

equity;

You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

To do righteousness and justice
Is desired by the Lord more than sacrifice.

On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.

And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.

Behold, a king will reign righteously
And princes will rule justly.

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the righteous scepter is the scepter of

His kingdom.
