45:1  For the choir director. According to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. A Maskil. A Song of Love. My heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a skillful scribe.
45:2  You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.
45:3  Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!
45:4  And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.
45:5  Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.
45:6  Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
45:7  You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions.
45:8  All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
45:9  Kings’ daughters are among Your noble ladies; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
45:10  Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house;
45:11  Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.
45:12  The daughter of Tyre will come with a present; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
45:13  The King’s daughter is all glorious within her chamber; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
45:14  She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You.
45:15  They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing; They will enter into the King’s palace.
45:16  In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall set them up as princes in all the earth.
45:17  I will cause Your name to be remembered from generation to every generation; Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
