THE LORD REIGNS IN THE MAJESTY OF HIS HOLINESS This is the first of the psalms of “Praising God as a King” – a group of psalms from 93 to 99, (with the exception of psalm 94). In these psalms, the heart of the believer is lifted up to the throne of God; and his eyes are concentrated on God. We seldom find in them any reference to the believers’ troubles or problems, nor hear any moaning or groaning. These psalms of “The Lord King” were used in the celebrations of the Sabbath, and in certain Jewish feasts, like the feast of the harvest. In the ‘Mishna’ it came that this psalm was used in praising God on the eve of the Sabbath, as a preparation for the day of rest, a symbol of eternity. This psalm was most probably written by the prophet David; and was considered by many old Jewish scholars as a Messianic psalm, that refers to the kingdom of the Messiah. 1- The King in His majesty 1 - 2 2- The Mighty King 3 – 4 3- The Holy King 5 The title: The eternal reign of the Lord. According to the Septuagint, and the Coptic versions, it came as ‘The blessing of the praise of David’, referring to the day preceding the Sabbath, when the earth was established.. This title was rejected by the Jews, on account of that it clearly refers to the Lord Christ who reigned by the cross on Friday, the day preceding the Sabbath, when He blessed the earth by His holy church by His salvation work. It means that death, having got the upper hand on mankind, destroyed the wall of our city which protected us …. Yet, our Lord, by His passion and death on the cross, on the day preceding the Sabbath, put death to death, rebuilt our city, set the walls of our life, and made us dwell in it. (Father Onesimus of Jerusalem) 1- THE KING IN HIS MAJESTY: https://coptic-treasures.com/ 46 “The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed; He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved” (1) The devil will not cease to oppose God along all generations, by some way or another. Yet, according to the prophet Daniel, all the nations opponents to the divine Truth will be destroyed. God’s greatness, majesty, and might, would grant the believers confidence and hope amid the afflictions; would let them get attached to God, come closer to Him; enjoy His love, and His exalted divine care; motivate them to receive His royal commandment; and to practice worshipping him with fear, and with reverent heavenly thought. His might, care, and love, did not stop at creating the world, but extended to a perpetual work to fulfill its mission. He is the Savior, care- Giver, and Philanthropic Creator. The two words: “clothed”, and “girded”, are military terms; as God is the Defender of His people against Satan and his hosts; according to what is written: “Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord” (Isaiah 51: 9). About God, Himself, in a befitting way, having made the church increase in fertility, it is said: “The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty” (1). In other words: “Girded himself with praise and beauty” 1. Being fairer than the sons of men, He gives from what is His; for one cannot give what is not his. That is why it is written: “The Lord reigns; he is clothed with (beauty)”. He is clothed with the beauty through the grace of the church. As in baptism all disobedience and abominations are taken away, and the splendor of the heavenly grace shines on the baptized, hence the divine Groom says: “Who is she who looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, awesome as an army with banners2” (Songs 6: 10). He, who came in the form of a servant, in the likeness of man, renewed man with His Spirit, poured His grace in his heart, and girded himself with the exaltation of the salvation of mankind3. (St. Ambrose) 1 Isaac or the Soul, 7: 60. 2 The Patriachs, 10: 44. 3 Duties of the Clergy 1: 45: 230. https://coptic-treasures.com/ 47 “The lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; He has girded himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved’ (1). In these three expressions, the prophet speak about the lord Savior; whereas the rest of the psalm is addressed directly to the lord himself … the lord who became a servant is a king; he who is described by the prophet Isaiah as “he has no form or comeliness; no beauty, that we should desire Him; … a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53; 2, 3). Is clothed with majesty The Lord reigned as a King, and is clothed with majesty. The meaning here is that He who, in the weakness of the human body, had no form or comeliness, is now splendid in the majesty of his Godhead. The weakness in him is referred to our condition; whereas what concerns beauty, conforms to his majesty. “He girded himself” is an expression that bears a kind of secret. For when we are not girded, our dress would probably falls down to our feet. That is why, on account of that we could not endure the perfection of the Lord’s strength, He girded Himself with a human body. This same kind of thought appears in the book of Exodus, when God said to Moses: “You shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen” (Exodus 33: 23); And in the book of kings, it is written that the prophet Elijah stood at the entrance of a cave on Mount Sinai, and from there he saw the Lord as He passed by (1 Kings 19: 11-13). Notice how it is said that Moses stood in the cleft of a rock and saw the back of the Lord; as the rock is a symbol of the Lord Savior; according to the words of the apostle Paul: “The Rock was Christ (1 Corinthians 10: 4). Therefore, we actually see the cleft of the rock, through the body, to perceive God. I say all this, for in this same interpretation, we include what is meant by the verse: “The Lord is clothed with majesty, and girded Himself …”. As through the cleft of the rock, the Lord Savior is perceived; through the girdle, as well, we perceive His majesty1. (St. Jerome) Preparing to work, man girds himself; as it is written; “Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One … The peoples fall under You” (Psalm 45: 3, 5). The sword of the Lord by which He overcomes the world, through destroying iniquity, is the Spirit of God in the truth of the Word of God2. 1 On Psalms, homily 70. 2 On Psalms, 93(92). https://coptic-treasures.com/ 48 It is said that the Lord girded Himself with a towel and began to wash His disciples’ feet. He humbly girded Himself with a towel; but all strength is in humility, and all frailty is in pride. It is so written to remind us how our Lord girded Himself with humility, when He washed the feet of his disciples (John 13: 4-5). Now, if strength is in humility, do not then fear the proud. The humble is like a rock, which may look as though collapsing, when it is actually firm. The proud are like smoke, although it goes up high, yet it is to be eventually scattered away1. What does he mean by saying: “The world is established; so that it cannot be moved” (1). He would not say that, unless there is another world that could be moved. The good people, firm in faith belong to the first kind of world; which is not the case for the wicked whose faith is moved with affliction. Speaking about ‘Hymenaeus and Philetus’ “who have strayed concerning the truth saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrew the faith of some”. Do those two belong to the immovable world? They were actually more like chaff. … “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal; The Lord Knows who are His”. What seal is this? “Everyone who names the name of Christ, depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2: 17-19) 2. (St.Augustine) After being crucified, dead, resurrected, and consummated our salvation, the glory of the divinity of the Lord Christ was revealed in His Manhood, which became immortal, not prone to hunger or thirst, and not in need of clothing. His Godhead so covered up His Manhood, that His disciples, looking at Him, thought that He is a Spirit without a body, because of the greatness of His light, which He was hiding until the consummation of our salvation from the enemy who deceived us3. (St. (Mar) Ephram the Syrian) The soul is commended for its fertility, because, on one aspect, it is productive of virtues, and on another aspect, it is without evil in itself. What is good is beautiful; whereas what is evil is not. Fertility in good works is beautiful; whereas barrenness is not; as there is evil in 1 On Psalms, 93(92). 2 On Psalms, 93(92). 3 19- تفسیر تك 14 :1 https://coptic-treasures.com/ 49 what lacks beauty and fittingness. What is evil is barren and infertile; as is proved by nature: the good earth is fertile and fruitful, while the bad one is barren and fruitless. It was well said about the Lord Himself, having made the church increasingly fertile: “The Lord reigns; He is clothed with majesty” (1); and, “The Lord is clothed with honor and majesty” (Psalm 104: 1). It is thus obvious that what is productive and fertile is beautiful, while what is barren is not. The condition of the soul is like that of the soil; the soul is beautiful when it is plentiful in its worthiness and counsel; whereas the barren soul, preoccupied only with material things is ugly; for barrenness, being a weakness of the soul, that deprives it of fruition, makes it in need, provokes fear, evil desires, and idle thoughts; it ends up falling1. (St. Ambrose) The Lord washes the feet of all those who walk on the Way, and dries them with the towel by which He is girded; which indeed has the power to purify from sin2. The bride entered into this way, and had her feet washed by the Lord Christ, and dried by the linen cloth by which He was girded, that had the power to cleanse of sins. “The Lord reigned, He is clothed with majesty: he has girded Himself with strength” (1). Once she put her feet on the royal way, the bride started to watch herself, lest she may deflect to the right or to the left; and spoil her feet by mud through walking out of the way. … You certainly know what is meant by these words! The bride kept her feet clean on the paved way, as David did when he set his feet upon a rock, after washing them from mud; saying: “He brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps” (Psalm 40: 2). We understand that this Rock is Christ – the Light, the Truth, the Non-corruption, and the Righteousness. He designates the spiritual way; if we keep walking on it, and do not deflect to the right or to the left, our life would remain unspoiled by the miry clay. That was how the bride kept her door open to the Lord Christ, and promised not to go back to filth or to any earthly rejected pollution on the way of this life; by which she kept her spirit sanctified. … Christ, Himself, is this sanctification (1 Corinthians 1: 30) 3. إسحق أو النفس، 1 60 :7 2 Commentary on Canticle, sermon 11. عظة 11 على نشید لأناشید ترجمة الدكتور جورج نوّار. 3 https://coptic-treasures.com/ 50 (St. Gregory of Nyssa) Today all valleys exult with joy, because the soil of the soul drank of the dew of heaven. “The Lord reigns; He is clothed with majesty” (1). In the old, Adam, after being a master and a king, became, because of disobedience, a slave of sin. But today, behold, the second Adam, reigns over His enemies, For, as it is written, “He must reign” (1 Corinthians 15: 25). Today, the Lord established the earth (Psalm 93: 1); namely, the soul, which was before, because of sin, desolate, terrified, and overwhelmed by fear, as it is written: “You are cursed from the ground …;a fugitive, and a wanderer on the earth” (Genesis 4: 11-12). Actually, when the temple of the soul was set upon sand (Matthew 7: 26), it was shaken and unsteady; but today, being set upon the Rock of Godhead, it would never be moved or shaken1. A king, intending to grant a royal gift to someone, sends him a message to come to him to be decorated. Unless this person goes to the royal court, reading the king’s message would do him no good…. The divine King of kings (Psalm 93: 1) sent His Holy Book and messages (Revelation 1: 4) to exhort us to believe in Him and to pray to be granted the inheritance reserved for us in heaven (1 Peter 1: 4). Unless we do according to His command, we shall benefit nothing by reading the Holy Scripture, but “the divine word will judge (us) in the last day” (John 12: 48); For we have rejected the gift of life from the heavenly King, without which we would never get the eternal life, which is the Lord Christ Himself (John 11: 25); to whom is the glory, forever, Amen. (St. Maccari the Great) When He proclaimed His power by overcoming the demons and the unclean spirits, all people knew for sure that He is truly the King, and the Lord of hosts. The beauty (the majesty) by which He was clothed, is relieving the body of corruption after the resurrection from the dead. Before the resurrection His body was prone to passion and death; but relieving it of them, ascending to heaven, and sitting at the right hand of the Father, He is said to be clothed with beauty and majesty. Saying “He is girded with strength”, does not mean that He drew from His manhood a power, it did not have, because, according to the الرسالة الثانیة، 2 (في عید المیلاد غالبًا في إحدى سنوات القرن الرابع – فردوس الآباء). 1 https://coptic-treasures.com/ 51 apostle, “He is the Power of God”; but it means that with His incarnation, He revealed the power of His divinity through His work of salvation; And the world that was before, shaking of vanity, He abided in truth, and set a world, established on the rock of His faith, so that it would never be moved by the gates of Hades; namely, the holy church. (Father Onesimus of Jerusalem) “Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting” (2) The kingdom of God, the King of kings, “is established from of old”, and will remain forever. That is why the godly men would never fear time, for the true God of the church is the Everlasting and Eternal; who will never change. In every generation He sets leaders, but on them, we shall never trust, but on the true unchangeable Leader, something that would bring gladness to our hearts, and would never let hope be taken away from us. Hence the psalmist sings: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom” (Psalm 45: 6); And about Him, it is also written: “He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: ‘KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS’” (Revelation 19: !6). What is the throne of God? Where does God sit? … In His saints. If you wish to be the throne of God, prepare a place for Him to sit in your hearts. The throne of God is where He dwells; namely, His temple. … Is it surrounded by walls? Far from it! … The world, so huge, and assumed to be fit to accommodate God, yet it is not. … God is rather found in the tranquil soul, the righteous soul1. (St. Augustine) In the creed of faith it came: “He ascended into heaven, and sat at the right hand of the Father”. Although the significance of the “throne” is not perceivable, yet we would never accept the interpretation of those who say that the Son sat at the right hand of the Father after His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension up to heaven; for the Son did not get the throne through promotion, but He was always there; which was known by the prophet Isaiah long before the incarnation of the Savior, saying: “I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up” (Isaiah 6: 1). And, as it is written that “the Father was never seen by anyone at any time” (John 1: 18), It was, therefore, the Son, whom the prophet Isaiah has seen2. 1 On Psalms, 93(92). مقال 2 .27 :14 https://coptic-treasures.com/ 52 (St. Cyril of Jerusalem) “Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved” (1). What then, would it mean to say, “Heaven and earth will pass away” (Matthew 24: 35)? … The word ‘Olkoumene’, translated as “the world’ in this phrase, seems to refer to the church, about which is written in the gospel: “My Father and I will come to him, and make our home with him” (John 14: 23). It is rightly said to be “inhabited”, by the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. … If we apply this to our souls, if we have the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit , we would forever turn into an established unmovable land1. Speaking about the kingdom of the Lord, and the glory of his garment, the psalmist refers to his power, and to that the world would not be moved. Now he turns his talk to the Lord himself as a splendid king, saying: “your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting”. The phrase; “the Lord is clothed with strength”, although it concerns the weakness of the human body, yet, “his throne is established from of old”, with no beginning. … he did not say: “from of old, you started’, but said: “you are from everlasting”, namely, you are perpetually there; … You, who said to the prophet Moses: “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘I AM’ has sent me to you” (Exodus 3: 14) 2. (St. Jerome) God’s throne is perpetual; not new, but everlasting. it also means that the secret of incarnation, by which He revealed His kingdom to all, and on which He sat as though on a throne, He set since the creation of man, having been His divine image; … knowing that after a designated time, his divine Person will unite with it; Hence the psalmist says; “You are the everlasting God; you are the one incarnate at the end of time”. (Father Onesimus of Jerusalem) 2- THE MIGHTY KING: “The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves” (3) The floods here, which “lifted up their waves”, may refer to the diverse nations, stirred up against the Lord. But what can the waves do 1 On Psalms, homily 70. 2 On Psalms, homily 70. https://coptic-treasures.com/ 53 against the kingdom of Christ, He who walked on the waves, and commanded them to obey Him?! Yet, according to St. Jerome, the rivers with their sweet waters, refer to the persistent preaching in the world by the ministers of God in the Old and the New Covenants. I believe that the rivers (floods) that flow water over the world, are the prophetic and the apostolic works. “The floods have lifted up their voice”, with the praise and glory of God, and proclaimed his ordinances in the world: “Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world” (Psalm 19: 4); louder than the voice of many waters; “Yet the Lord on high is mightier” (4)1. (St. Jerome) “The floods have lifted up their voice” (3). We did not hear the voice of the floods when our Lord was born, nor when He was baptized; nor when He suffered on the cross; we never heard them talk! These rivers did not just lift up their voice, but did so loud and with courage. What are these rivers which talk? … The Spirit, Himself, is a mighty River, by whom streams are filled up. About this River, the psalmist says: ”There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God” (Psalm 46: 4). Rivers came to flow from the disciples when they received the Holy Spirit; And they, themselves turned into rivers2. (St. Augustine) The rivers are the messages of the saints, the preachers, and the rest of the ministers who likened the streams that made glad the city of God; having lifted their minds and thoughts up to God, then lifted up their voices, to tell the world what their minds have seen. The rivers or floods are also the gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to the words of the Lord: “’He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water’, this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive” (John 7: 38). These gifts lifted up their voices, namely, were shown and proclaimed all over the world. They are, as well, the rivers of the sayings of the Divine Books, that were fulfilled. (Father Onesimus of Jerusalem) 1 On Psalms, homily 70. 2 On Psalms, 93(92). https://coptic-treasures.com/ 54 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea” (4) If the opposition from the nations is consistent against God, it is no more than the noise of waves; but the Lord on high is mightier. According to the Septuagint and the Coptic versions, it came as; “Although amazing are the horrors of the sea; yet, more amazing is God on high”. That is what was realized on a magnificent level in the church of the New Covenant; and probably in the unique and marvelousexample of the encounter of the Lord Christ with the Samaritan woman, who belonged to the stirred up bitter water of the nations. She encountered Him who promised: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7: 37, 38). That woman, whose water was salty, and could not satisfy her, nor those around her, the Lord turned her from being a salty sea with deadly waves, into a joyful river. He lifted her heart, mind, and all her depths up to Him, to make her perceive the heavenly divine things. Then she lifted up her voice to her fellow Samaritans in the town of Sokhar, to make out of them sweet water rivers, and turn them into the house of God, with the sanctification that befit it. Yes indeed, our Lord Christ, on high, is mightier than the stirred up seas, and could turn them into rivers whose streams shall make glad the city of God. According to St. Jerome, the prophetic and apostolic works, grant the believer a greater authority than the voice of many waters, and than the persistent mighty waves of the sea. The secret of this authority and strength is the Lord, on high, the Grantor of sanctification to the believer. If sin has corrupted man, destroyed his authority, and took away from him the ability to look up to heaven, yet our Lord Jesus Christ grants him sanctification, to enjoy an exalted strength. According to father Onesimus of Jerusalem, as the waves, stirred up against the disciples, were calmed down by the Lord Christ, So will be the peoples who oppose and persecute the believers, they will be calmed down by bthe amazing power of our Lord; and at the same time, He will grant strength to the believers, like rivers that lift the minds of the persecuted up to heaven, which is more amazing! Let the waves, then, be stirred up as much as they would like. The threats and persecutions may be great; but “The Lord on high is mightier”. The sea may be rough, and the waves may strike the boat ferociously (The boat is the church, and the sea is the world). The Lord https://coptic-treasures.com/ 55 came and walked on the sea and its waves. The rulers and kings ultimately came to believe in Christ, and submitted to Him. Therefore, have no fear, because “The Lord on high is mightier” 1. (St. Augustine) 3- THE HOLY KING: “Your testimonies are very sure; Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever” (5) The psalmist calls the congregation of believers to practice the holy life, befitting of the children of the Holy One, and to stop committing sins and iniquities, as there is nothing better in the life of believers, than becoming like their Holy Father, testifying to Him by their life and their fellowship with Him. By losing holiness, the angel has turned into Satan. His holiness is the beauty and glory of His temple, and the flood of His grace on His people -- His living temple; according to the words of the apostle: “If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are” (1 Corinthians 3: 17). “Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever” (5). If anyone thinks that he dwells in the house of God, when he is not pure or holy, he is actually a stranger from it, for he does not acquire the adornment befitting to the house of God. If we believe the words of the apostle, that we are the house and temple of God, our behavior should become the adornment and honor of the church. On the contrary, if sins and transgressions are obvious in us, we would become disgrace and corruption, and not adornment to the house of the Lord2. (St. Jerome) “Your testimonies, O Lord, are very sure” (5). The Lord Himself said; “These things I have spoken to you, that in me, you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation” (John 16: 33). But He added: “But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. Having said: “I have overcome the world”, Be attached to Him who has overcome the world; He who is on high, “mightier than the sea”; whose “testimonies are very sure” 3. 1 On Psalms, 93(92). 2 On Psalms, homily 70. 3 On Psalms, 93(92). https://coptic-treasures.com/ 56 “Holiness adorns your house, O Lord”. Adorns Your house, Your whole house, not just here or there, but all over the world. The Lord’s house will be strong, and will overcome all over the world. Many may fall, but His house will hold fast; Many will be disturbed, but HIs house will never be shaken. “Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord”; not for some time, but “forever’. (St. Augustine) As the house becomes inhabited, man starts to care for recognizing the requirements of Him who dwells in it … Because if the house lacks everything good, the King would never dwell in it. So it is befitting of man, to become a house for Christ, to be aware of everything required for serving Christ who dwells in him, and for giving Him pleasure. He should first be aware that the building is set upon the foundation of faith; which requires pure fasting, which confirms faith. pure prayer, by which faith is received; love, created by faith; alms, presented through faith; humility, that adorns faith; virginity, loved by faith; sanctification, planted by faith; wisdom, sought by faith; and generosity, as well. He should also seek simplicity, for the sake of Christ dwelling in him, perseverance, consummated by faith; longsuffering, sought by faith; remorse, proclaimed by faith; and purity, kept by faith. All these things are sought by faith, set upon the true Rock, namely, Christ; All these works are sought for the sake of Christ, the King, dwelling in men, built by such works1. (St. Aphrahat) “Your testimonies are very sure, O lord, forever”; Namely, what you have proclaimed by your prophets, to happen to us, have been realized, and we came to believe the truth of your words. Moreover, all what was written in the divine Holy Books and the prophets, concerning Christ, the Lord, have been fulfilled and consummated. The house of God, being the holy church and the congregation of believers, should have sanctification and purity forever. He said “forever”, lest the Jews would think that the house of God, worthy of sanctification is the temple of Solomon, the place of their worship; for that temple did not last forever. (Father Onesimus of Jerusalem) 1 Demonstrations, 1: 4 (of Faith) https://coptic-treasures.com/ 57 AN INSPIRATION FROM PSALM 93 SUPPORT ME, O MY HOLY KING To You are the majesty, might, holiness, O King of kings; By Your love you were lifted up on the cross for my sake; The splendor of Your love shone, O Sun of Righteousness; And You have lifted up our hearts as living rivers, up to your heavens. You are clothed with Your majesty, to take away my reproach; And poured Your exalted beauty on my depths. You girded Yourself with strength to cleanse me of the defilements of sins. To sanctify me completely, O Amazing Holy One. You were lifted up on the cross, as a unique throne; When You, as the King of kings, cares from old for Your church; You lead her in her battle against the devil and his hosts; You grant her the conquest, and crown her with the eternal glory; You keep on caring for her forever; So that your believers would never fail; Nor despair, nor terror would crawl into their hearts. The hosts of darkness will keep on stirred up; The floods will keep on lifting up the voice of their waves; But how would they stand before You? You who walk on the waves of the seas? You, whose command, the wind and the waves will obey? Let the sea and the horrors of its waves keep on stirred up against your believers; Let the many waters keep on seeking to drown Your children; Being amazing, in Your strength and works, You will turn the seas, with the horrors of its waves, into joyful and peaceful rivers; You will proclaim Yourself among the persecutors of Your people; You will lift their hearts up to heaven, to let them discover Your secrets In place of persecution, You will raise their voices high to preach Your gospel As You have turned the Samaritan woman into a preacher among her people. As You have turned Saul of Tarsus into such an amazing apostle! https://coptic-treasures.com/ 58 Out of the seas with their horrible waves, You will set Your holy house, Your pure church! To You is the glory, O Philanthropic One. Your testimonies, O Lord, are very sure; You let us be aware, that in the world, we shall have affliction; Yet, You let us have a good cheer, and rejoice; For You bore the anguish of the cross with gladness; As You conquered by the cross, By it we shall also conquer; For You are our Lord and our King; You are our Conquest and our Crown.
Welcome
