1. Solomon, you are the eternal king, past and future
The kingdom is also yours, as well as kingship, O Solomon

2. O king of the world and pupil of its eye
Without you, the eye would have no pupil

3. With your pillar this kingdom rose forever
Without your rising no pillar would rise for the kingdom

4. Your lofty name was sovereign for mankind
In the past, and you are sovereign for people today

5. No glory exists but you are its summit
No affair occurs but where you have stature
