Psalm 45

1. 1

   My heart is stirring with a noble song; let me recite what I have fashioned for the king; *
   my tongue shall be the pen of a skilled writer.

2. 2

   You are the fairest of men; *
   grace flows from your lips, because God has blessed you for ever.

3. 3

   Strap your sword upon your thigh, O mighty warrior, *
   in your pride and in your majesty.

4. 4

   Ride out and conquer in the cause of truth *
   and for the sake of justice.

5. 5

   Your right hand will show you marvelous things; *
   your arrows are very sharp, O mighty warrior.

6. 6

   The peoples are falling at your feet, *
   and the king's enemies are losing heart.

7. 7

   Your throne, O God, endures for ever and ever, *
   a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom; you love righteousness and hate iniquity.

8. 8

   Therefore God, your God, has anointed you *
   with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

9. 9

   All your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia, *
   and the music of strings from ivory palaces makes you glad.

10. 10

    Kings' daughters stand among the ladies of the court; *
    on your right hand is the queen, adorned with the gold of Ophir.

11. 11

    "Hear, O daughter; consider and listen closely; *
    forget your people and your father's house.

12. 12

    The king will have pleasure in your beauty; *
    he is your master; therefore do him honor.

13. 13

    The people of Tyre are here with a gift; *
    the rich among the people seek your favor."

14. 14

    All glorious is the princess as she enters; *
    her gown is cloth-of-gold.

15. 15

    In embroidered apparel she is brought to the king; *
    after her the bridesmaids follow in procession.

16. 16

    With joy and gladness they are brought, *
    and enter into the palace of the king.

17. 17

    "In place of fathers, O king, you shall have sons; *
    you shall make them princes over all the earth.

18. 18

    I will make your name to be remembered from one generation to another; *
    therefore nations will praise you for ever and ever."
