aSend the tribute lamb to the ruler of the land,
From bSela by way of the wilderness to the cmountain of the daughter of Zion.
2 Then, like afleeing birds or scattered nestlings,
The daughters of bMoab will be at the fords of the cArnon.
3 “Bring us counsel, make a decision;
Cast your ashadow like night at high noon;
bHide those banished, do not reveal the one who flees.
4 Let the 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,
aOppressors have completely disappeared from the land.
5 And a athrone will be established in lovingkindness,
And a judge will sit on it in truth in the tent of bDavid;
Moreover, he will seek justice
And be prompt in righteousness.
