Of Solomon. Give the king, O God, your own spirit of justice your spirit of right to the son of the king,
2 Obiro ngʼado ne jou bura makare, obiro kelo adiera ne jou masandore.
that with right he may judge your people, and your downtrodden ones with justice.

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.
