Psalms
45
- My heart is stirred by a noble theme as
I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
- You are the most excellent of men and your
lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.
- Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty
one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
- In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display
awesome deeds.
- Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts
of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.
- Your throne, O God, will last for ever and
ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
- You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you
with the oil of joy.
- All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and
aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings
makes you glad.
- Daughters of kings are among your honored
women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.
- Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear:
Forget your people and your father's house.
- The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor
him, for he is your lord.
- The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift,
men of wealth will seek your favor.
- All glorious is the princess within her
chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.
- In embroidered garments she is led to the
king; her virgin companions follow her and are brought to you.
- They are led in with joy and gladness; they
enter the palace of the king.
- Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
you will make them princes throughout the land.
- I will perpetuate your memory through all
generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.
