Gheeft dijn gherecht by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Gheeft dijn gherecht den Coninc schoon,
Heer dijn gherechtichheyt sinen soon.
Wanneer hi sal zijn een rechter vroet,
dat hi, o Heer, dijn armen
mach rechten al doer zijn oordeelen goet,
laet ons die berghen vrede soet
voort brenghen, met gherechtichheyt bescamen.
Den armen sal hi rechten hier,
en oock bewaren van dangier,
haer kinder: de spotters maect hy cleyn
en hi sal eeuwich bliven
