毛詩序：「《維天之命》，大平告文王也。」維天之命
維天之命，於穆不已。
於乎不顯，文王之德之純。
假以溢我，我其收之。
駿惠我文王，曾孫篤之。
The ordinances of Heaven, -
How deep are they and unintermitting!
And oh! how illustrious,
Was the singleness of the virtue of king Wen!
How does he [now] show his kindness?
We will receive [his favour],
Striving to be in accord with him, our king Wen;
And may his remotest descendant be abundantly the same!
《維天之命》，一章，八句。
