Psalm 45

1My heart wells up with a good word; I speak my compositions for the king; my tongue is the pen of a swift scribe.

2You surpass the sons of men in beauty; grace has been poured upon your lips, so God blesses you forever.

3Gird your sword upon your thigh, O champion, with your splendor and majesty.

4In your majesty ride forth successfully for the sake of truth, humility, and righteousness; your right hand will teach you awesome deeds.

5Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; nations fall beneath you.

6Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; so God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.

8All your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; stringed instruments from ivory palaces have gladdened you.

9Daughters of kings are among your precious women; the queen stands at your right hand in Ophir gold.

10Listen, daughter, observe and incline your ear, and forget your people and your father's house.

11The king will desire your beauty, for he is your lord; bow down to him.

12The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift; the rich among the people seek your favor.

13All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is wrought with gold.

14In embroidery she is led to the king; virgins after her, her companions, are brought to you.

15They will be led in gladness and rejoicing; they will enter the king's palace.

16Your sons will be instead of your fathers; you will appoint them princes in all the earth.

17I will mention your name in all generations; therefore peoples will praise you forever and ever.
