AB - Psalms - 45

45:1  My heart has uttered a good matter; I declare my works to the king; my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

45:2  You are more beautiful than the sons of men; grace has been shed forth on Your lips; therefore God has blessed You forever.

45:3  Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, in Your comeliness, and in Your beauty;

45:4  and bend Your bow, and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Your right hand shall guide You wonderfully.

45:5  Your weapons are sharpened, O Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under You) they are in the heart of the king's enemies.

45:6  Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your kingdom is the scepter of righteousness.

45:7  You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness beyond Your companions.

45:8  Myrrh, aloes, and cassia emanate from Your garments, and out of the ivory palaces,

45:9  with which kings' daughters have gladdened You for Your honor; the queen stood by on Your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in many colors.

45:10  Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house.

45:11  Because the King has desired your beauty; for He is your Lord.

45:12  And the daughter of Tyre shall adorn Him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favor.

45:13  All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Heshbon, robed in golden fringed garments,

45:14  in embroidered clothing; virgins shall be brought to the king after her; her fellows shall be brought to You.

45:15  They shall be brought with gladness and exaltation; they shall be led into the king's temple.

45:16  Instead of Your fathers children are born to You; You shall make them princes over all the earth.

45:17  They shall make mention of Your name from generation to generation; therefore shall the nations give thanks to You forever, even forever and ever.
