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.
