Protect Mo’av from the attacks of robbers!”

and those trampling on the land are destroyed,
a throne will be set up by grace,
and on it, in the tent of David,

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

of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
    but her boasts are empty.
