A throne will be established in mercy.
In the tent of David a judge will sit on the throne in truth,
seeking justice, eager to bring righteousness.

We have heard about Moab’s pride,
about his egotistical conceit.
His pride, his arrogance, and his boasting are nothing but self-delusion.
Therefore Moab will wail for Moab.
Everyone will wail.
Completely devastated, you will mourn for the raisin cakes
    of Kir Hareseth.

In love a throne(A) will be established;(B)
    in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
    one from the house[a] of David(C)
one who in judging seeks justice(D)
    and speeds the cause of righteousness.

We have heard of Moab’s(E) pride(F)
    how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
    but her boasts are empty.
Therefore the Moabites wail,(G)
    they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
    for the raisin cakes(H) of Kir Hareseth.(I)
