←Prev   Psalms 45 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


45:1  My heart is overflowing with a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready scribe.
45:2  You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
45:3  Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.
45:4  And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you awesome things.
45:5  Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; by which the people fall under you.
45:6  Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter.
45:7  You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
45:8  All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made you glad.
45:9  Kings' daughters were among your honorable women: at your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father's house;
45:11  So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: since he is your Lord, worship him.
45:12  And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat your favor.
45:13  The king's daughter is all glorious within the palace: her clothing is of woven gold.
45:14  She shall be brought unto the king in robes of needlework: the virgins, her companions that follow her, shall be brought unto you.
45:15  With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16  Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth.
45:17  I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise you forever and ever.
