←Prev   Psalms 45 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


45:1  A marvelous word has stirred my heart as I mention my works to the king. My tongue is the pen of a skillful scribe.
45:2  You are the most handsome of men; grace has been poured out on your lips. No wonder God has blessed you forever!
45:3  Strap on your sword, great warrior, with your glory and grandeur.
45:4  Go and succeed in your grandeur! Ride out on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness! Let your strong hand perform awesome deeds.
45:5  Let the peoples fall beneath you. May your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies.
45:6  Your divine throne is eternal and everlasting. Your royal scepter is a scepter of justice.
45:7  You love righteousness and hate wickedness. No wonder God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than all your companions!
45:8  All your clothes have the pleasing scent of myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. The music of stringed instruments coming from ivory palaces entertains you.
45:9  The royal princess is standing in your precious jewels; the queen stands at your right, dressed in the gold of Ophir.
45:10  Listen, daughter; pay attention, and listen closely! Forget your people and your father’s house.
45:11  Let the king desire your beauty. Because he is your master, bow down to him now.
45:12  The city of Tyre, the wealthiest of all, will seek your favor with gifts,
45:13  with riches of every sort for the royal princess, dressed in pearls, her robe embroidered with gold.
45:14  In robes of many colors, she is led to the king. Her attendants, the young women servants following her, are presented to you as well.
45:15  As they enter the king’s palace, they are led in with celebration and joy.
45:16  Your sons, great king, will succeed your fathers; you will appoint them as princes throughout the land.
45:17  I will perpetuate your name from one generation to the next so the peoples will praise you forever and always.
