1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the Beloved. My heart hath uttered a good word I speak my works to the king; My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly. 2 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee for ever 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty. 4 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully. 5 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king's enemies. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness. 7 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psalms 45:1-7, Douay-Rheims Bible. Public domain.
