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.
