“Bring us counsel, make a decision;
[a]Cast your (A)shadow like night [b]at high noon;
(B)Hide those banished, do not reveal the one who flees.
Let the [c]banished of Moab sojourn with you;
Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer.”
For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased,
(C)Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.
And a (D)throne will be established in lovingkindness,
And a judge will sit on it in truth in the tent of (E)David;
Moreover, he will seek justice
And be prompt in righteousness.
