    He will not judge by what his eyes see
    or decide by what his ears hear.
He will judge the poor justly.
    He will make fair decisions for the humble people on earth.
    He will strike the earth with a rod from his mouth.
    He will kill the wicked with the breath from his lips.
Justice will be the belt around his waist.
    Faithfulness will be the belt around his hips.
