Psalms 45

Psalm 45

A Song Celebrating the King’s Marriage.

¹My heart is moved with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

²You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

³¶Strap Your sword on Your thigh, Mighty One, In Your splendor and majesty!

⁴And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.

⁵Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.

⁶¶Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

⁷You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions.

⁸All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; From ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You joyful.

⁹Kings’ daughters are among Your noble women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

¹⁰¶Listen, daughter, look and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house;

¹¹Then the King will crave your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.

¹²The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The wealthy among the people will seek your favor.

¹³¶The King’s daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

¹⁴She will be brought to the King in colorful garments; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You.

¹⁵They will be brought with joy and rejoicing; They will enter into the King’s palace.

¹⁶¶In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.

¹⁷I will make Your name known among all generations; Therefore the peoples will praise You forever and ever.
