And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Ver. 4. And in thy majesty ride prosperously] Heb. Prosper thou, ride thou upon the word of truth, Equita super verbum veritatis, of meekness and of righteousness, q.d. Ride thou in thy triumphant chariot, as it were, drawn by those three glorious graces, truth, meekness, and righteousness; and governed by the word, as by the chariot man.

Qui Pharios currus regum cervicibus egit.
And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things] i.e. Shall enable thee to perform them. Christ, riding on his white horse (his apostles and preachers), went forth conquering and to conquer, Revelation 6:2. Solomon was no such swordman as was Jesus Christ.
