文王既勤止。
我應受之。
敷時繹思。
我徂維求定。
時周之命。
於繹思。

LAI

King Wen laboured earnestly; --
Right is it we should have received [the kingdom].
We will diffuse [his virtue], ever cherishing the thought of him;
Henceforth we will seek only the settlement [of the kingdom].
It was he through whom came the appointment of Zhou;
Oh! let us ever cherish the thought of him.
