←Prev   Psalms 45 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


45:1  My heart is composing a goodly matter; I speak of the verses which I have made concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
45:2  Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured into Thy lips; therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever.
45:3  Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O most Mighty, with Thy glory and Thy majesty.
45:4  And in Thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Thy right hand shall teach Thee fearsome things.
45:5  Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies, whereby the people fall under Thee.
45:6  Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the scepter of Thy Kingdom is a righteous scepter.
45:7  Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness; therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.
45:8  All Thy garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces whereby they have made Thee glad.
45:9  Kings’ daughters were among Thy honorable women; at Thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people and thy father’s house.
45:11  So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty, for He is thy Lord; worship thou Him.
45:12  And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
45:13  The King’s daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold.
45:14  She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework; the virgins, her companions that follow her, shall be brought unto Thee.
45:15  With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter into the King’s palace.
45:16  Instead of Thy fathers shall be Thy children, whom Thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
45:17  I will make Thy name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the people praise Thee for ever and ever.
