CHAPTER 45

1
For the choirmaster.
To the tune of
“The Lilies.”
A Maskil
of the sons
of Korah.
A love
song.
My heart
is stirred
by a noble
theme
as I
recite
my verses
to the king;
my tongue
is the pen
of a skillful
writer.
2
You are the most handsome
of men;
grace
has anointed
your lips,
since
God
has blessed you forever.
3
Strap
your sword
at
your side,
O mighty warrior;
appear in your majesty
and splendor.
4
In your splendor
ride forth
in victory
on
behalf
of truth
and humility
and justice;
may your right hand
show
your awesome deeds.
5
Your arrows
pierce
the hearts
of the king’s
foes;
the nations
fall
beneath your feet.
6
Your throne,
O God,
endures forever
and ever,
and
justice
is the scepter
of Your kingdom.
7
You have loved
righteousness
and hated
wickedness;
therefore
God,
your God,
has placed you above your companions
by anointing you
with the oil
of joy.
8
All
your garments
are fragrant with myrrh
and aloes
and cassia;
from
palaces
of ivory
the harps
make you glad.
9
The daughters
of kings
are among your honored women;
the queen
stands
at your right hand,
adorned with the gold
of Ophir.
10
Listen,
O daughter,
observe
and incline
your ear:
Forget
your people
and your father’s
house,
11
and the king
will desire
your beauty;
bow
to him,
for
he
is your lord.
12
The daughter
of Tyre
will come with a gift;
men
of wealth
will seek
your favor.
13
All
glorious
is the princess
in
her chamber,
her gown
embroidered
with gold.
14
In colorful garments
she is led
to the king;
her virgin
companions
are brought
before you.
15
They are led in
with joy
and gladness;
they enter
the palace
of the king.
16
Your sons
will succeed
your fathers;
you will make
them princes
throughout
the land.
17
I will commemorate
your name
through all
generations;
therefore
the nations
will praise you
forever
and ever.
