Verse | |
1. To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Lilies.' A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A song of Love. My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. | |
2. You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever. | |
3. Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty. | |
4. And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things. | |
5. Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; The peoples fall under You. | |
6. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. | |
7. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions. | |
8. All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad. | |
9. Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. | |
10. Listen, O daughter, Consider and incline your ear; Forget your own people also, and your father's house; | |
11. So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, worship Him. | |
12. And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor. | |
13. The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace; Her clothing is woven with gold. | |
14. She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors; The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You. | |
15. With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King's palace. | |
16. Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth. | |
17. I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever. |
