Ps 45
1
My heart overflows with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching
the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2
You are fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into your lips: Therefore
God has blessed you for ever.
3
Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one, Your glory and your majesty.
4
And in your majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness:
And your right hand shall teach you terrible things.
5
Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under you; [They are] in the heart of the
king`s enemies.
6
Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of your
kingdom.
7
You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, your God, has anointed
you With the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8
All your garments [smell of] myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia; Out of ivory palaces
stringed instruments have made you glad.
9
Kings` daughters are among your honorable women: At your right hand does stand the
queen in gold of Ophir.
10
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; Forget also your own people,
and your father`s house:
11
So will the king desire your beauty; For he is your lord; and reverence you him.
12
And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; The rich among the people shall
entreat your favor.
13
The king`s daughter within [the palace] is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought
with gold.
14
She shall be led to the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow
her Shall be brought to you.
15
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king`s palace.
16
Instead of your fathers shall be your children, Whom you shall make princes in all
the earth.
17
I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples
give you thanks for ever and ever.
