45
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG OF LOVES. My heart has stirred a good word, || I am telling my works to the King, || My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer. 2 You have been beautified above the sons of men, || Grace has been poured into Your lips, || Therefore God has blessed You for all time. 3 Gird Your sword on the thigh, O Mighty [One], || Your splendor and Your majesty! 4 As for Your majesty—prosper [and] ride! Because of truth, meekness, [and] righteousness, || And Your right hand shows You fearful things. 5 Your arrows [are] sharp—Peoples fall under You—In the heart of the enemies of the King. 6 Your throne, O God, [is for] all time and forever, || A scepter of uprightness || [Is] the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You have loved righteousness and hate wickedness, || Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You || With oil of joy above Your companions. 8 Myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia || [Cover] all Your garments; Out of palaces of ivory, || Stringed instruments have made You glad. 9 Daughters of kings [are] among Your precious ones, || A queen has stood at Your right hand, || In pure gold of Ophir. 10 Listen, O daughter, and see, incline your ear, || And forget your people, and your father’s house, 11 And the King desires your beauty, || Because He [is] your Lord—bow yourself to Him, 12 And the daughter of Tyre with a present, || The rich of the people appease your face. 13 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, || Her clothing [is] with filigrees of gold. 14 In various colors she is brought to the King; Afterward, virgins, her companions, || Are brought to You. 15 They are brought with joy and gladness, || They come into the palace of the King. 16 Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, || You appoint them for princes in all the earth. 17 I make mention of Your Name in all generations, || Therefore peoples praise You, || For all time and forever!
