Your way was in the sea, And Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known.
Righteousness and right-ruling Are the foundation of Your throne; Loving-commitment and truth go before Your face.
Blessed are the people Who know the sounding! They walk, O יהוה, in the light of Your face.
And the strength of the Sovereign Shall love right-ruling; You Yourself shall establish straightness; You shall execute right-ruling And righteousness in Ya‛aqoḇ.
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I am coming to you in the thick cloud, so that the people hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” And Mosheh reported the words of the people to יהוה.

It is an abomination for sovereigns To commit wrongness, For a throne is established by righteousness.
