Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

Amid judgment appears a hope connected with a throne established in mercy and with a ruler who judges justly. The reference shows that Davidic rule can become a point of stability even for foreign peoples.

"Sammelt Rat, haltet Gericht, mache deinen Schatten des Mittags wie die Nacht; verbirg die Verjagten, und melde die Flüchtlinge nicht!
Reúne consejo, haz juicio; pon tu sombra en medio del día como la noche: esconde los desterrados, no entregues a los que andan errantes.
Donne conseil, fais justice, Couvre-nous en plein midi de ton ombre comme de la nuit, Cache ceux que l'on poursuit, Ne trahis pas le fugitif!
Prendi un consiglio, o Moab, fa’ un decreto; fa’ che la tua ombra, in pien mezzodì, sia come la notte; nascondi quelli che sono scacciati, non palesare i fuggitivi.
Toma conselho, executa juízo, põe a tua sombra no pino do meio-dia como a noite; esconde os desterrados, e não descubras os fugitivos.
求你賜謀略,行公平, 使你的影子在正午如黑夜, 掩護逃亡的人,不洩露逃難者的行蹤。
