⁹ ·People may make plans in their minds [^LHuman hearts plan their path],
but the Lord ·decides what they will do [^Lestablishes their step].

¹⁰ The words of a king are like a ·message from God [oracle],
so ·his decisions should be fair [^Lhe should not betray justice with his mouth].

¹¹ The Lord wants honest balances and scales;
·all the weights are his work [^Lhe concerns himself with the weights in the pouch].
