Psalm 45
To the
chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of
Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.
1 My heart
is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things
which I have made touching the king: my tongue is
the pen of a ready writer.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is
poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed
thee for ever.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with
thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of
truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right
hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's
enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the
sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:
therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the
oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and
cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have
made thee glad.
9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women:
upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of
Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline
thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy
father's house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for
he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a
gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat
thy favour.
13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her
clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of
needlework: the virgins her companions that follow
her shall be brought unto thee.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be
brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,
whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all
generations: therefore shall the people praise thee
for ever and ever.
