God, your throne will last forever and ever.
    You will rule your kingdom with fairness.
You love right and hate evil.
    So God has chosen you to rule those with you.
    Your God has given you much joy.
Your clothes smell like myrrh, aloes and cassia.
    From palaces of ivory
    music comes to make you happy.
