11. The Lord took away his sins, And exalted his horn for ever; And gave him a covenant of kings, And a throne of glory in Israel.
12. After him rose up a son, a man of understanding; And for his sake he lived at large.
13. Solomon reigned in days of peace; And to him God gave rest round about, That he might set up a house for his name, And prepare a sanctuary for ever.
14. How wise was you made in your youth, And filled as a river with understanding!
