Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.

Excellent speech is not fitting for a fool,
Much less are lying lips to a prince.

Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.

Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things;
Let this be known throughout the earth.
