KING JAMES VERSION
Prior Chapter
|
Next Chapter |
|
|
|
1 |
My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the
things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready
writer.
|
|
|
2 |
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is
poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
|
|
3 |
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy
glory and thy majesty.
|
|
4 |
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth
and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible
things.
|
|
5 |
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s
enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
|
|
6 |
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of
thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
|
|
7 |
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:
therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above
thy fellows.
|
|
8 |
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia,
out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
|
|
9 |
Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon
thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
|
|
10 |
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine
ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
|
|
11 |
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is
thy Lord; and worship thou him.
|
|
12 |
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;
even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
|
|
13 |
The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her
clothing is of wrought gold.
|
|
14 |
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of
needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto
thee.
|
|
15 |
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they
shall enter into the king’s palace.
|
|
16 |
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou
mayest make princes in all the earth.
|
|
17 |
I will make thy name to be remembered in all
generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
