[a]Give us advice, make a decision;
[b]Cast your (A)shadow like night [c]at high noon;
(B)Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.
Let the [d]outcasts of Moab stay with you;
Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer.”
For the oppressor has come to an end, destruction has ceased,
(C)Oppressors have been removed from the land.
A (D)throne will be established in faithfulness,
And a judge will sit on it in trustworthiness in the tent of (E)David;
Moreover, he will seek justice,
And be prompt in righteousness.
