3 In his time the reservoir was dug,a pool as vast as the sea.
4 He protected the people against brigandsand strengthened the city against the enemy.
5 How splendid he was as he looked out from the tent,as he came from behind the veil!
6 Like a star shining among the clouds,like the full moon at the festal season;
7 Like sun shining upon the temple of the King,like a rainbow appearing in the cloudy sky;
8 Like blossoms on the branches in springtime,like a lily by running waters;Like a green shoot on Lebanon in summer,
9 like the fire of incense at sacrifice;Like a vessel of hammered gold,studded with all kinds of precious stones;
