1 The good things of the King I speak, My [fervent] heart doth it indite; My tongue is as the pen of one That [very] readily doth write.
1 THe good things of the King I speak, My [fervent] heart doth it indite; My tongue is as the pen of one That [very] readily doth write.
2 Thou fairer art than sons of men, [Plenteous] grace to thy lips doth flow; Therefore great blessings evermore God [doth and] will on thee bestow.
3 O thou that art the mighty one, Thy [warlike] sword gird on thy thigh,
4 In all thy glory excellent, And in thy [splendid] majesty. In state do thou ride prosperously, For [meekness] truth and righteousness, And dreadful things thy strong right hand Shall [do and] reach thee by success.
