LEB - Psalms - 45

45:1  A maskil. A song of love. My heart is moved with a good word; I recite my ⌞compositions⌟ to the king. My tongue is the pen of a skilled scribe.

45:2  You are the most handsome of the sons of humankind; grace is poured out on your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.

45:3  Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.

45:4  And in your majesty ⌞ride victoriously⌟, because of truth and humility and righteousness. And let your right hand teach you awesome deeds.

45:5  Your arrows are sharp; peoples fall under you in the midst of the king’s enemies.

45:6  Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

45:7  You love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you from among your companions with festive oil.

45:8  All your robes are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From palaces of ivory stringed instruments gladden you.

45:9  Kings’ daughters are among your noble ladies. The queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.

45:10  Hear, O daughter, and ⌞discern⌟ and incline your ear, and forget your people and your father’s house.

45:11  Let the king desire your beauty. Because he is your lord, therefore bow down to him.

45:12  Even the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift. The rich from among people will seek your ⌞favor⌟.

45:13  The king’s daughter is all glorious within; her garment is of gold embroidered cloth.

45:14  She is brought to the king in colorful garments. The young women behind her, her attendants, are being brought to you.

45:15  They are led with joy and gladness. They enter the palace of the king.

45:16  In place of your fathers will be your sons. You will make them princes in all the land.

45:17  I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore peoples will praise you forever and ever.
