3 Buckle on your sword, mighty king;you are glorious and majestic.
4 Ride on in majesty to victoryfor the defence of truth and justice!Your strength will win you great victories!
5 Your arrows are sharp,they pierce the hearts of your enemies;nations fall down at your feet.
6 The kingdom that God has given youwill last for ever and ever.You rule over your people with justice;
7 you love what is right and hate what is evil.That is why God, your God, has chosen youand has poured out more happiness on youthan on any other king.
8 The perfume of myrrh and aloes is on your clothes;musicians entertain you in palaces decorated with ivory.
9 Among the ladies of your court are daughters of kings,and on the right of your throne stands the queen,wearing ornaments of finest gold.
