Psalms 45

Psalm 45

A Song Celebrating the King’s Marriage.

For the music director; according to the Shoshannim. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.

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.
3Strap 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.
6Your 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.
10Listen, 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.
13The 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.
16In 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.
