Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.

It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness; for the throne is established by righteousness.
