And in mercy shall the throne be established (note: Or, prepared): and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
in loving devotion (note: Forms of the Hebrew chesed are translated here and in most cases throughout the Scriptures as loving devotion; the range of meaning includes love, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and mercy, as well as loyalty to a covenant.) a throne will be established in the tent of David. A judge seeking justice and hastening righteousness will sit on it in faithfulness.
