Thy throne, O God, is age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness Is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.

Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies.

For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
