This Virgin has received honor this day. This bride has received glory this day.This glorious within, her clothing is woven with gold, and her garment with needlework. David played the first string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: the Queen did stand at Your right hand O King. And he played the second string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: Hearken O daughter and consider, incline your ear, forget your people and your father's home. And he played the third string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: All the glory of the daughter of the King is within: her clothing is woven with gold. And he played the fourth string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: the virgins her companions shall follow her, and enter unto the King. And he played the fifth string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: Great is the Lord and blessed exceedingly: in the city of our God on His holy mountain. And he played the sixth string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: The wings of a dove covered with silver: and her feathers with yellow gold. And he played the seventh string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: The mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a high mountain, a holy mountain. And he played the eighth string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: His foundations are in the holy mountains: the Lord loves the gates of Zion. And he played the ninth string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. And he played the tenth string of his harp, proclaiming and saying: The Lord has chosen Zion: He has desired it for His habitation.
