Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies’ hearts.

The nations fall beneath your feet.

Thou art fairer than the children of men:

Grace is poured into thy lips:

Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty,

With thy glory and thy majesty.

And in thy majesty ride prosperously

Because of truth and meekness and righteousness;

And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thine arrows are sharp

In the heart of the king’s enemies;

Whereby the people fall under thee.
