And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and (A)meekness and righteousness;
Let Your (B)right hand teach You [a]awesome things.
Your (C)arrows are sharp;
The (D)peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are (E)in the heart of the King’s enemies.

(F)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of (G)uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
