² The terror of a king is like the roar of a lion;
He who provokes him to anger ^(A)sins against his own soul.

^8 (A)A king who sits on the throne of justice
^[a]Disperses all evil with his eyes.

²⁶ A ^(A)wise king winnows the wicked,
And turns the ^(B)threshing wheel over them.

²⁸ Lovingkindness and ^(A)truth will guard the king,
And he upholds his throne by lovingkindness.
