3 Mighty king, glorious ruler,strap on your sword
4 and ride out in splendour!Win victories for truthand mercy and justice.Do fearsome thingswith your powerful arm.
5 Send your sharp arrowsthrough enemy heartsand make all nations fallat your feet.
6 You are God, and you will rulefor ever as king.Your royal powerbrings about justice.
7 You love justice and hate evil.And so, your God chose youand made you happierthan any of your friends.
8 The sweet aroma of the spicesmyrrh, aloes, and cassia,covers your royal robes.You enjoy the music of harpsin palaces decoratedwith ivory.
9 Daughters of kings are here,and your bride standsat your right side,wearing a wedding gowntrimmed with pure gold.
