He will take delight in obeying the Lord. He will not judge by mere appearances, or make decisions on the basis of hearsay.

He is your constant source of stability; he abundantly provides safety and great wisdom; he gives all this to those who fear him.

Why, Lord, do you make us stray from your ways, and make our minds stubborn so that we do not obey you? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance!

They will stay away from all the hills that were cultivated, for fear of the thorns and briers. Cattle will graze there and sheep will trample on them.

The Lord’s spirit will rest on him – a spirit that gives extraordinary wisdom, a spirit that provides the ability to execute plans, a spirit that produces absolute loyalty to the Lord.
