Psalms 45:1-13 ▼

1 For the one directing. According to “The Lilies.” Of the sons of Korah. A Maskil. A song of love. My heart is stirred by a good word; I am telling my works, O king; my tongue is the pen of a swift scribe.

2 You are beautiful above the sons of man; favor is poured out from your lips; upon thus God has blessed you forever.

3 Gird your sword upon the thigh, O mighty one, with your majesty and splendor!

4 And in your splendor prosper! Ride forth upon a word of truth and gentleness and justice; and your right hand will teach you fearful things.

5 Your arrows are sharp—the peoples fall under you—in the heart of the enemies of the king.

6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; upon thus, God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy above your companions.

8 All your garments are with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from the palaces of ivory, the harps have made you glad.

9 Daughters of kings are among your precious ones; the queen stands at your right hand, in gold of Ophir.

10 Hear, O daughter, and see; and incline your ear, and forget your people and the house of your father.

11 For the king himself desires your beauty, because he is your lord—and bow to him—

12 and the daughter of Tyre, with a gift; the rich among the people, will seek your face.

13 All glorious is the daughter of the king inside; her clothing is with weavings of gold.
