Psalms 45

New Book or Previous Chapter - Next Chapter - Previous Book - Next Book
 
45:1  My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
45:2  Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
45:3  Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
45:4  And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
45:5  Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
45:6  Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
45:7  Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
45:8  All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
45:9  Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
45:11  So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
45:12  And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
45:13  The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
45:14  She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
45:15  With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16  Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
45:17  I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
