The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable Upon reflection, she grew confident that the king's answer would be according to her heart's desire. For as an angel of God is my lord the king In wisdom, justice, and goodness. To discern good and bad To distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable petitions, and to know what is good and what evil, and understand every matter that comes before him. Therefore the Lord thy God will be with thee To direct thee to judge aright, and show mercy: or, because thou art so wise and gracious to those who in strict justice deserve punishment. God will own and stand by thee in this thy act of grace: or, God will prosper thee in thy enterprises.
