 nBut the righteous live for ever\,\nand their reward is with the Lord\;\nt
 he Most High takes care of them.\nTherefore they will receive a glorious c
 rown\nand a beautiful diadem from the hand of the Lord\,\nbecause with his
  right hand he will cover them\,\nand with his arm he will shield them.\nT
 he Lord will take his zeal as his whole armour\,\nand will arm all creatio
 n to repel his enemies\;\nhe will put on righteousness as a breastplate\,\
 nand wear impartial justice as a helmet\;\nhe will take holiness as an inv
 incible shield\,\nand sharpen stern wrath for a sword\,\nand creation will
  join with him to fight against his frenzied foes.\n\n(Wisdom 5:15-20\, Ne
 w Revised Standard Version - Anglicized Edition)\n\n'Be strong and courage
 ous. Behold\, I will be with you. This night set out from your camp to bat
 tle\, for the Lord has granted me that your enemies will flee and Cadwallo
 n\, your enemy\, will be delivered into your hands and the victory in batt
 le will be yours and you will rule happily.'\n\n(From King Oswald's vision
  of St Columba on the Eve of the Battle of Heavenfield)
