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