Let my refugees stay with you;
be a refuge for Moab[a] from the aggressor.
When the oppressor has gone,
destruction has ended,
and marauders have vanished from the land,

a throne will be established in love,(A)
and one will sit on it faithfully[b]
in the tent of David,
judging and pursuing what is right,
quick to execute justice.
We have heard of Moab’s pride(B)
how very proud he is—
his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance,
and his empty boasting.
