In your majesty ride forth victoriously(A)
    in the cause of truth, humility and justice;(B)
    let your right hand(C) achieve awesome deeds.(D)
Let your sharp arrows(E) pierce the hearts(F) of the king’s enemies;(G)
    let the nations fall beneath your feet.
Your throne, O God,[a] will last for ever and ever;(H)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You love righteousness(I) and hate wickedness;(J)
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
    by anointing(K) you with the oil of joy.(L)
All your robes are fragrant(M) with myrrh(N) and aloes(O) and cassia;(P)
    from palaces adorned with ivory(Q)
    the music of the strings(R) makes you glad.
