Psalms 45

1 My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever. 3 Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One,
With Your glory and Your majesty. 4 And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;
And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things. 5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies;
The peoples fall under You. 6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions. 8 All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad. 9 Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women;
At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. 10 Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
Forget your own people also, and your father's house; 11 So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
Because He is your Lord, worship Him. 12 And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
The rich among the people will seek your favor. 13 The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;
Her clothing is woven with gold. 14 She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You. 15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
They shall enter the King's palace. 16 Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,
Whom You shall make princes in all the earth. 17 I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
