3 δια τουτο ου φοβηθησομεθα εν τω ταρασσεσθαι την γην και μετατιθεσθαι ορη εν καρδιαις θαλασσων	3 Warrior, strap your sword at your side, in your majesty and splendour advance,
4 ηχησαν και εταραχθησαν τα υδατα αυτων εταραχθησαν τα ορη εν τη κραταιοτητι αυτου διαψαλμα	4 ride on in the cause of truth, gentleness and uprightness. Stretch the bowstring tight, lending terror toyour right hand.

7 εταραχθησαν εθνη εκλιναν βασιλειαι εδωκεν φωνην αυτου εσαλευθη η γη	7 you love uprightness and detest evil. This is why God, your God, has anointed you with oil ofgladness, as none of your rivals,

	14 in brocade, the king's daughter is led within to the king with the maidens of her retinue; hercompanions are brought to her,
	15 they enter the king's palace with joy and rejoicing.
	16 Instead of your ancestors you will have sons; you wil make them rulers over the whole world.
