天作

天作高山。
大王荒之。
彼作矣。
文王康之。
彼徂矣岐。
有夷之行。
子孫保之。

TIAN ZUO

Heaven made the lofty hill,
And king Da brought [the country about] it under cultivation.
He made the commencement with it,
And king Wen tranquilly [carried on the work],
[Till] that rugged [mount] Qi,
Had level roads leading to it.
May their descendants ever preserve it!
