Proverbs 20:8

A king sitting on a throne to judge
sifts out all evil with his eyes.

A wise king separates out the wicked
and drives the threshing wheel over them.

Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,
and his throne will be established in righteousness.

But David’s men said to him, “Look, we’re afraid here in Judah; how much more if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!”

is like the morning light when the sun rises
on a cloudless morning,
the glisten of rain on sprouting grass.”

May he vindicate the afflicted among the people,
help the poor,
and crush the oppressor.

For indeed, Lord, Your enemies—
indeed, Your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.

The mighty King loves justice.
You have established fairness;
You have administered justice
and righteousness in Jacob.

My eyes favor the faithful of the land
so that they may sit down with me.
The one who follows the way of integrity
may serve me.

Wicked behavior is detestable to kings,
since a throne is established through righteousness.

A king who judges the poor with fairness—
his throne will be established forever.

Indeed, a king will reign righteously,
and rulers will rule justly.
