8 A SONG OF GOD’S CHOSEN ONE
| |||
| Refrain: | The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,* the spirit of wisdom and understanding. | ||
| 1 |
There shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse,* and a branch shall grow out of his roots. | ||
| 2 |
And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,* the spirit of wisdom and understanding, | ||
| 3 |
The spirit of counsel and might,* the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. | ||
| 4 |
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,* or decide by what his ears hear, | ||
| 5 |
But with righteousness he shall judge the poor,* and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. | ||
| 6 |
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,* and the leopard shall lie down with the kid. | ||
| 7 |
The calf and the lion cub together,* with a little child to lead them. | ||
| 8 |
They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,* for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. | ||
| |||
|
The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,* the spirit of wisdom and understanding. | |||
