When Herod the king had heard[ these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers[ that] water the earth.In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this[ is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
