1For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart overflows with a good matter; I speak the things which I have made concerning the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2You are fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into your lips: Therefore God has blessed you forever.
3Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one, Your glory and your majesty.
4And in your majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And your right hand shall teach you awesome things.
5Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under you; They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.
6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, your God, has anointed you With the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women: At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; Forget also your own people, and your father’s house:
11So the king will desire your beauty; For he is your lord; and bow down to him.
12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat your favor.
13The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14She shall be led to the king in embroidered work: The virgins her companions who follow her Shall be brought to you.
15With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led: They shall enter into the king’s palace.
16Instead of your fathers shall be your children, Whom you shall make princes in all the earth.
17I will make your name remembered in all generations: Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
