Khăng was the honorary title of Sung, the son and successor of king Wû, B.C. 1115 to 1079.
Heaven made its determinate appointment, which our two sovereigns received 2. King Khăng did not dare to rest idly in it, But night and day enlarged
its foundations by his deep and silent virtue. How did he continue and glorify (his heritage), Exerting all his heart, And so securing its tranquillity!
