|
|
1 |
My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
|
|
|
2 |
You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.
|
|
3 |
Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One,
With Your glory and Your majesty.
|
|
4 |
And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth,
humility, and righteousness;
And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
|
|
5 |
Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s
enemies;
The peoples fall under You.
|
|
6 |
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
|
|
7 |
You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
|
|
8 |
All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and
cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
|
|
9 |
Kings’ daughters are among Your honourable women;
At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
|
|
10 |
Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
|
|
11 |
So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
|
|
12 |
And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
The rich among the people will seek your favour.
|
|
13 |
The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;
Her clothing is woven with gold.
|
|
14 |
She shall be brought to the King in robes of many
colours;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
shall be brought to You.
|
|
15 |
With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
They shall enter the King’s palace.
|
|
16 |
Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,
Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
|
|
17 |
I will make Your name to be remembered in all
generations;
Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
