    a throne will be established based on goodness,
        and someone will sit faithfully on it in David’s dwelling[a]
    a judge who seeks justice and timely righteousness.

In love a throne(A) will be established;(B)

We have heard of Moab’s(E) pride(F)
    how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
