1 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter: I speak 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 mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp; the peoples fall under thee; they are in the heart of the king's enemies. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psalms 45:1-7, English Revised Version. Public domain.
