10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,

and his mouth does not betray justice.

10 An oracle is on the lips of a king;

his mouth does not sin in judgment.

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king:

His mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

10 Divination is on the lips of the king;

His mouth must not transgress in judgment.

10 The words of a king are like a message from God,

so his decisions should be fair.

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king;

His mouth shall not transgress in judgment.

10 An oracle is on the lips of the king: his mouth will not err in judgment.

10 When a divine revelation is on a king’s lips, 

he cannot voice a wrong judgment. 

10 God’s verdict is on the lips of a king;

his mouth should not give an unfair judgment.

10 Inspired decisions are on the lips of a king;

his mouth does not sin in judgment.

10 A decision is upon the lips of a king;

in judgment his mouth will not sin.

10 A king might speak as if his words come from God.

But what he says should not turn right into wrong.

10 A divine decision is in the lips of the king;

His mouth should not err in judgment.
