And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

Et præparabitur in misericordia solium, et sedebit super illud in veritate in tabernaculo David, judicans et quærens judicium, et velociter reddens quod justum est.

Vulgate

καὶ διορθωθήσεται μετ’ ἐλέους θρόνος, καὶ καθιεῖται ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ μετὰ ἀληθείας ἐν σκηνῇ Δαυείδ, κρίνων καὶ ἐκζητῶν κρίμα καὶ σπεύδων δικαιοσύνην.

LXX

And a throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David, judging, and seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
