For Epiphany, the Psalm was Psalm 72:1-11. In English, the first verse is: "Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son!" Like many parts of the Psalms, this exhibits parallel structure. It could be rephrased as "give your justice to the king, and give your righteousness to the royal son." Each clause is [imperative verb][direct object][indirect object].
In German, this parallel structure is highlighted by the initial letter of each word: "Gott, gib dein Gericht dem König / und deine Gerechtigkeit dem Königssohn."
