When I saw this, I gave careful consideration to it; I received instruction from what I saw:

I will not even consider doing what is dishonest. I hate doing evil; I will have no part of it.

A psalm of David. Here is the Lord’s proclamation to my lord: “Sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool!”

The Lord made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.

And I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring; her offspring will attack your head, and you will attack her offspring’s heel.”

“Because of the violence done to the oppressed, because of the painful cries of the needy, I will spring into action,” says the Lord. “I will provide the safety they so desperately desire.”

How long must I worry, and suffer in broad daylight? How long will my enemy gloat over me?

Indeed, the waters of Dimon are full of blood! Indeed, I will heap even more trouble on Dimon. A lion will attack the Moabite fugitives and the people left in the land.

When their appetites are all stirred up, I will set out a banquet for them. I will make them drunk so that they will pass out, they will fall asleep forever, they will never wake up,” says the Lord.
