Of Solomon. Give the king, O God, your own spirit of justice your spirit of right to the son of the king,
2 Iye adzaweruza anthu anu mwachilungamo, anthu anu ozunzika mosakondera.

May all kings fall prostrate before him, and all nations yield him their service.

Long may he live; and may gold of Sheba be given him; prayer, too, be made for him ceaselessly, all the day long may men bless him.
