The scale of your justice
You have given to all.
O king of kings
Your power to rule, your power to judge
You have bestowed on every one of us.
Saluting you
May I humbly accept that difficult task,
That rarest honour.
When doing that task
None may I fear
Where forgiveness is weakness
May I be firm at your command.
At your prompts
Like a flaming sword
May only truth flare from my tongue.
Sitting on the seat of judgement
May I keep your honour.
In your hatred let them burn like grass
Those who do and those who suffer
Whatever is unjust.
The scale of your justice
