The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 45

 

 

1.

 

For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth 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.

 

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 mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

    
 
 

4.

 

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

    
 
 

5.

 

Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; [They are] in the heart of the king's enemies.

    
 
 

6.

 

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

    
 
 

7.

 

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated 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 ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

    
 
 

9.

 

Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth 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 will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

    
 
 

12.

 

And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

    
 
 

13.

 

The king's daughter within [the palace] is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

    
 
 

14.

 

She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

    
 
 

15.

 

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king's palace.

    
 
 

16.

 

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

    
 
 

17.

 

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
