·This king will be glad to [L He will gladly/with delight] ·obey [revere; fear] the Lord.
He will not judge by ·the way things look [appearances; L the vision of his eyes]
    or decide by ·what he hears [L the hearing of his ears].
But he will judge the poor ·honestly [with justice/righteousness];
    he will be ·fair [upright; just; fair] in his decisions for the ·poor [oppressed; meek] people of the ·land [or earth].
·At his command evil people will be punished [L He will strike the earth with the rod/scepter of his mouth],
    and by ·his words the wicked will be put to death [L the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked].
·Goodness [Righteousness; Justice] will be like a belt around his waist,
    and ·fairness [faithfulness; integrity] like a belt around his ·hips [waist; T loins].
