						De zegen des Heere
						Naar mijn Hantere
						Ik verwacht
						Hij zal regeren
						Tot zijner eere
						Bij dag en bij nacht
						Anno 1644
						
						This translates into English as follows:
						
						The blessing of the Lord to my actions I expect
						He shall rule to His honor by day and by night
						
						A curator at the Rijksmuseum gave just a slightly difference "loose" translation, as follows:
						
						The blessing of the Lord on my doings I expect
						He will reign to His honour day and night
						
						The translator who did the first translation explained that in the old Dutch, lines 1 & 2 rhyme with lines 4 & 5, so it is a rhyming proverb.
