Psalm 45

¹ {\b For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. {\i A Psalm} of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.}\par\par\tab My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter;\par\tab I speak the things which I have made touching the king:\par\tab My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

² Thou art fairer than the children of men;\par\tab Grace is poured into thy lips:\par\tab Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

³ Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,\par\tab Thy glory and thy majesty.

⁴ And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,\par\tab Because of truth and meekness {\i and} righteousness:\par\tab And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

⁵ Thine arrows are sharp;\par\tab The peoples fall under thee;\par\tab {\i They are} in the heart of the king's enemies.

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:\par\tab A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

⁷ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:\par\tab Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee\par\tab With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

⁸ All thy garments {\i smell of} myrrh, and aloes, {\i and} cassia;\par\tab Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

⁹ Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women:\par\tab At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰ Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;\par\tab Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house:

¹¹ So will the king desire thy beauty;\par\tab For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre {\i shall be there} with a gift;\par\tab The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

¹³ The king's daughter within {\i the palace} is all glorious:\par\tab Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

¹⁴ She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:\par\tab The virgins her companions that follow her\par\tab Shall be brought unto thee.

¹⁵ With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:\par\tab They shall enter into the king's palace.

¹⁶ Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,\par\tab Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

¹⁷ I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:\par\tab Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.\par
