Psalms 45
Psalms 45
For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
451My 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.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men;
is poured into thy lips:
hath blessed thee for ever.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,
Thy glory and thy majesty.
4And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,
Because of truth and meekness and righteousness:
And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5Thine arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under thee;
They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:
With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
9Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women:
At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
also thine own people, and thy father’s house:
11So will the king desire thy beauty;
For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.
12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;
The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
13The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious:
Her clothing is inwrought with gold.
14She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:
The virgins her companions that follow her
Shall be brought unto thee.
15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:
They shall enter into the king’s palace.
16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,
in all the earth.
17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
