³⁴ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

³⁷ And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³² This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

¹ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

¹⁸ For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

¹⁹ Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

²⁰ I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

⁴ Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

⁶ Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

⁷ Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

⁸ Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

⁹ Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

⁹ They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

²³ The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

⁵ I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

⁷ Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
