Let the fugitives from Moab stay with you a while.
    Be their refuge from the destroyer.
    Ruthless people will come to an end.
    The destruction will end.
        The one who tramples others will be gone.
Then Yahweh will set up a trusted king.
    He will rule faithfully.
        He is from the tent of David.
        He judges and searches for justice.
        He is quick to do what is right.

We’ve heard of the arrogance of Moab’s people.
    They are very arrogant.
    We’ve heard of their boasting, arrogance, and conceit,
    but their boasts aren’t true.

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.

    how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
    but her boasts are empty.
