1. To the Overseer. --`On the Lilies.' --By sons of Korah. --An Instruction. --A song of loves. My heart hath indited a good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.
2. Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.
3. Gird Thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty, Thy glory and Thy majesty!
4. As to Thy majesty--prosper! --ride! Because of truth, and meekness--righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.
5. Thine arrows [are] sharp, --Peoples fall under Thee--In the heart of the enemies of the king.
