“Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; and I would bind it to me as a crown.”
“Surely I would wear it proudly on my shoulder, I would bind it on me like a crown;”

Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:
I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.
