2  The terror of a king is like ^bthe growling of a lion;

whoever provokes him to anger ^cforfeits his life.

8  ^lA king who sits on the throne of judgment

^mwinnows all evil with his eyes.

26  A wise king ^pwinnows the wicked

and drives ^qthe wheel over them.

28  ^uSteadfast love and faithfulness preserve the king,

and by steadfast love his ^vthrone is upheld.
