1 My heart is stirred by a noble themeas I recite my verses for the king;my tongue is the pen of a skilful writer.
2 You are the most excellent of menand your lips have been anointed with grace,since God has blessed you for ever.
3 Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one;clothe yourself with splendour and majesty.
4 In your majesty ride forth victoriouslyin the cause of truth, humility and justice;let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.
