መዝሙረ ዳዊት (Book of Psalms — Ge'ez Manuscript)

And you shall see them with a rod of iron,
And like a potter's vessel, you shall shatter them.
Be aware And now, kings, understand,
And be instructed, all you who judge the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
earth And rejoice in him with trembling.
Strengthen wisdom, lest the Lord be angry,
And you perish from the way of righteousness,
When his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in him.

Concerning Absalom his son: 3

Lord, why are they who afflict me increased?

Many have risen against me,
Many have said of my soul,
"Your God will not save you."
But you, Lord, are my shelter,
My glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried out to the Lord with my voice,
And he heard me from his holy mountain.
I I laid down and slept,
And I arose, for the Lord supported me.
