Psalms 45
Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the
sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the
Beloved.
My heart hath uttered a good word I speak my works to
the king; My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth
swiftly.
Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured
abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee
for ever
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.
With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed
prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness
and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall,
into the hearts of the king's enemies.
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre
of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore
God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows.
Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from
the ivory houses: out of which
the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.
The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing;
surrounded with variety.
Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and
forget thy people and thy father's house.
And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he
is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich
among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden
borders,
clothed round about with varieties. After her shall
virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall
be brought to thee.
They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they
shall be brought into the temple of the king.
Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou
shalt make them princes over all the earth.
They shall remember thy name throughout all generations.
Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for
ever and ever. |
