受小球大球,为下国缀旒。
何天之休,不竞不絿,不刚不柔,敷政优优,百禄是遒。
受小共大共,为下国骏厖。
何天之龙,敷奏其勇,不震不动,不戁不竦,百禄是总。
武王载旆,有虔秉钺。
如火烈烈,则莫我敢曷。
苞有三蘗,莫遂莫达,九有有截。
韦顾既伐,昆吾夏桀。
昔在中叶,有震且业。
允也天子,降予卿士,实维阿衡,实左右商王。
He received tributes large and small / From princes subordinate. He received favors from gods all; He showed his vaior great. Unshaken, he was fortified, Unscared, unterrified. / All blessings came to his side. His banners flying higher, His battle-ax in his fist, The Martial King came like fire Whom no foe could resist. / The Martial King destroyed the brutes And he ruled high and low. At left and right of the prince great.
