³⁴ Righteousness exalts a ^(A)nation,
But sin is a ^[a]reproach to any people.

² When the righteous ^[a]are in authority, the ^(A)people rejoice;
But when a wicked man rules, ^(B)the people groan.

^18 (A)Where there is no ^[a]revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But ^(B)happy is he who keeps the law.
