45:1 For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” A maskil. A love song of the sons of Korah. Beautiful words fill my mind. I am speaking of royal things. My tongue is like the pen of a skilled writer.
45:2 You are more handsome than anyone. You are a very good speaker. God has blessed you forever.
45:3 Put on your sword, powerful warrior. Show your glory and majesty.
45:4 In your majesty win the victory. Defend what is true and right. Your power will do amazing things.
45:5 Your sharp arrows will enter the hearts of the king’s enemies. Nations will be defeated before you.
45:6 God, your throne will last forever and ever. You will rule your kingdom with fairness.
45:7 You love right and hate evil. So God has chosen you to rule those with you. Your God has given you much joy.
45:8 Your clothes smell like myrrh, aloes and cassia. From palaces of ivory music comes to make you happy.
45:9 Kings’ daughters are among your honored women. Your bride stands at your right side wearing gold from Ophir.
45:10 Listen to me, daughter. Look and pay attention. Forget your people and your father’s family.
45:11 The king loves your beauty. Because he is your master, you should obey him.
45:12 People from the city of Tyre have brought a gift. Wealthy people will want to meet you.
45:13 The princess is very beautiful. Her gown is woven with gold.
45:14 In her beautiful clothes she is brought to the king. Her bridesmaids follow behind her. And they are also brought to him.
45:15 They come with happiness and joy. They enter the king’s palace.
45:16 You will have sons to take the place of your ancestors. You will make them rulers through all the land.
45:17 I will make your name famous from now on. People will praise you forever and ever.
