45:1  For the Music Director. To the melody of “Lilies.” A Contemplative Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is overflowing with a good thought; I am speaking my works for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skilled scribe.
45:2  You are fairer than all the sons of men; favor is poured on your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
45:3  Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, with your splendor and your majesty.
45:4  In your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand will teach you awesome things.
45:5  Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; peoples will fall under you.
45:6  Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your kingdom is an upright scepter.
45:7  You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.
45:8  All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from the ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad.
45:9  Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10  Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear; forget your own people, and your father’s house,
45:11  and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him.
45:12  The daughter of Tyre will be there with a gift; even the rich among the people will entreat your favor.
45:13  The royal daughter is all glorious within her chamber; her clothing is plaited gold.
45:14  She shall be brought to the king in embroidered garments; the virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
45:15  With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; they shall enter into the king’s palace.
45:16  Your sons shall succeed your fathers; you will make them princes in all the land.
45:17  I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore the people will praise you forever and ever.
