Contemporary Interpretation
My very one voice...
then again merge...
Growing,
Until I am fully
MYSELF,
My
Very
One voice...
And again
Merge into
The song
Of the world.

Preponderance of the great (28) is the culmination.
The image
The lake rises above the trees: the image of preponderance of the great. Thus when alone, the superior man has peace of mind, and if he has to renounce the world, he is courageous.
The judgement
Preponderance of the great. The ridge pole bends. It furthers to have somewhere to go. Success.Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
