Psalm 45 - New International Version (Anglicised)


Psalm 45
For the director of music. To the tune of ‘Lilies’. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. A wedding song.

1 My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skilful writer.

2 You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you for ever.

3 Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendour and majesty.

4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.

5 Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.

6 Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a sceptre of justice will be the sceptre of your kingdom.

7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.

8 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.

9 Daughters of kings are among your honoured women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

10 Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention: Forget your people and your father’s house.

11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honour him, for he is your lord.

12 The city of Tyre will come with a gift, people of wealth will seek your favour.

13 All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.

14 In embroidered garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her – those brought to be with her.

15 Led in with joy and gladness, they enter the palace of the king.

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.

17 I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.
