Oooops! I must acknowledge and edify the remarks of Athanasius the Lesser: I too am left handed, and must adamantly protest the use of "right hand man". (I purchased a left-handed scissors, and take great delight - I'll repent at Great Lent - in giving the scissors to my right-handed friends for their uncoordinated use.) In seminary, during the Hebrew class - writing from right to left - I watched my right handed colleagues smear their writing as I had to do from the beginning with my Palmer Penmanship English. So there!! Retribution!!!
Dr John, The SouthPaw
You are the fairest of the sons of men;
grace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you for ever.
Gird your sword upon your thigh,
O mighty one, in your glory and majesty!
In your majesty ride forth victoriously for the cause of truth and to defend* the right;
let your right hand teach you dread deeds!
Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you.
Your divine throne* endures for ever and ever.
Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity;
you love righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God,
has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows;
your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
Whether left or right handed, the right hand has eternal significance!
