Psalms
Chapter Forty-Five
<<To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.>>
1 ¶ My heart is inditing
a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my
tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore
God hath blessed thee for ever.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness;
and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people
fall under thee.
6 ¶ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom
is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God,
hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces,
whereby they have made thee glad.
9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did
stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 ¶ Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also
thine own people, and thy father's house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship
thou him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among
the people shall intreat thy favour.
13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins
her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into
the king's palace.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes
in all the earth.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall
the people praise thee for ever and ever.
