English version by T. Carmi Original Language Hebrew Yours, O Lord, is the sovereignty and You are exalted over all. A king who says to the sea: 'Thus far shall you come' -- He shall be king! A king of abomination, who comes from a stinking drop and goes no further than the grave -- why should he be king? A king who builds his upper chambers and the chariot-throne in the heavens -- He shall be king! A king who returns to the dust like an expiring candle -- why should he be king? A king who redeems from harm all those who trust in him -- He shall be king! A king who flees like a driven leaf because of his heart's dread -- why should he be king? A king distinguished among ten thousand, who brings forth thousands and tens of thousands of angels -- He shall be king! A king who fears, dreads, and is terrified at the judgment of his Master -- why should he be king? A king Who every was and shall be, in His grace and His bounty -- He shall be king! [1835.jpg] -- from The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse, Edited by T. Carmi <
