Meaning
Overflowing with protective love, the poet sings a blessing to the Lord himself: many years, many years, many thousands of years, countless ages upon ages. He addresses the gem-hued one whose strong shoulders subdued the wrestlers, praying that the beauty of those red feet be held in sacred protection forever.
