psalms 45

1 - My heart overflows with a noble theme.I recite my verses for the king.My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

2 - You are the most excellent of the sons of men.Grace has anointed your lips,therefore God has blessed you forever.

3 - Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one:your splendor and your majesty.

4 - In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

5 - Your arrows are sharp.The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.

6 - Your throne, God, is forever and ever.A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

7 - You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

8 - All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

9 - Kings' daughters are among your honorable women.At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

10 - Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.Forget your own people, and also your father's house.

11 - So the king will desire your beauty,honor him, for he is your lord.

12 - The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.The rich among the people entreat your favor.

13 - The princess inside is all glorious.Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

14 - She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

15 - With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led.They shall enter into the king's palace.

16 - Your sons will take the place of your fathers.You shall make them princes in all the earth.

17 - I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
