Psalms Chapter 45
| 1 | 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. |
