YLT - Psalms - 45

45:1  To the Overseer. --`On the Lilies.' --By sons of Korah. --An Instruction. --A song of loves. My heart hath indited a good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue is the pen of a speedy writer.

45:2  Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.

45:3  Gird Thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty, Thy glory and Thy majesty!

45:4  As to Thy majesty--prosper! --ride! Because of truth, and meekness--righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.

45:5  Thine arrows are sharp, --Peoples fall under Thee--In the heart of the enemies of the king.

45:6  Thy throne, O God, is age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness Is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.

45:7  Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness, Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above thy companions.

45:8  Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad.

45:9  Daughters of kings are among thy precious ones, A queen hath stood at thy right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.

45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father's house,

45:11  And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he is thy lord--bow thyself to him,

45:12  And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people do appease thy face.

45:13  All glory is the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work is her clothing.

45:14  In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins--after her--her companions, Are brought to thee.

45:15  They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.

45:16  Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint them for princes in all the earth.

45:17  I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever!
