Context

7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your fellows.

8All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.

9Kings’ daughters are among Your noble ladies;
At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

10Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
Forget your people and your father’s house;

11Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.

12The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
The rich among the people will seek your favor.

13The King’s daughter is all glorious within;
Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

14She will be led to the King in embroidered work;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.

15They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King’s palace.

16In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall make them princes in all the earth.

17I will cause Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
