PSALM 45
1 To the overcomer, for the lilies, the most loved song of learning of the sons of Korah. Mine heart hath told out a good word; I say my works to the king. My tongue is the pen of a writer; writing swiftly.
2 Christ, thou art fairer in shape than the sons of men; grace is spread abroad in thy lips; therefore God blessed thee without end.
3 Be thou gird with thy sword; on thy hip most mightily. Behold thou in thy shapeliness and thy fairness;
4 come thou forth with prosperity, and reign thou. For truth, and mildness, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; and thy right hand shall lead forth thee wonderfully.
5 Thy sharp arrows shall fall into the hearts of the enemies of the king; peoples shall be under thee.
6 God, thy seat is into the world of world; the rod of thy realm is a rod of right ruling, or of equity.
7 Thou lovedest rightfulness [or right-wiseness], and hatedest wickedness; therefore thou, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness, more than thy fellows.
8 Myrrh, and gum, and cassia, of thy clothes, out of the ivory houses or the houses of ivory; of which the daughters of kings delighted thee.
9 A queen stood nigh on thy right side, in clothing overgilded; compassed with diversity.
10 Daughter, hear thou, and see, and bow down thine ear; and forget thy people, and the house of thy father.
11 And the king shall covet thy fair-ness; for he is thy Lord God, and they shall worship him.
12 And the daughters of Tyre in gifts; all the rich men of the people shall beseech thy cheer.
13 All the glory of that daughter of the king is within, adorned in golden hems;
14 she is clothed about with diversities. Virgins shall be brought to the king after her; her neighbouresses shall be brought to thee.
15 They shall be brought in gladness, and full out joying; they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
16 Sons be born to thee, for thy fathers; thou shalt ordain them princes on all earth.
17 Lord, they shall be mindful of thy name; in each generation, and into generation. Therefore peoples shall acknowledge to thee without end; and into the world of world.
