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;
10 Like a luxuriant olive tree heavy with fruit,a plant with branches abounding in oil;
11 Wearing his glorious robes,and vested in sublime magnificence,As he ascended the glorious altarand lent majesty to the court of the sanctuary.
12 When he received the portions from the priestswhile he stood before the sacrificial wood,His sons stood round him like a garland,like young cedars on Lebanon;And like poplars by the brook they surrounded him,
