The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 45

 

 

1.

 

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. 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.
