ACV - Psalms - 45

45:1  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.

45:2  Thou are fairer than the sons of men. Grace is poured into thy lips. Therefore God has blessed thee forever.

45:3  Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty.

45:4  And in thy majesty ride on prosperously because of truth and gentleness and righteousness. And thy right hand shall teach thee awesome things.

45:5  Thine arrows are sharp. The peoples fall under thee. They are in the heart of the king's enemies.

45:6  Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of straightness is the scepter of thy kingdom.

45:7  Thou have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

45:8  All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

45:9  Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women. At thy right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear. Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house.

45:11  So will the king desire thy beauty, for he is thy lord, and reverence thou him.

45:12  And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with a gift. The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

45:13  Inside, the king's daughter is all glorious. Her clothing is embroidered with gold.

45:14  She shall be led to the king in broidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to thee.

45:15  With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king's palace.

45:16  Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, whom thou shall make rulers in all the earth.

45:17  I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give thee thanks forever and ever.
