Psalms 45

¹My heart is inditing a good matter:

²Thou art fairer than the children of men:

³Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty,

⁴And in thy majesty ride prosperously

⁵Thine arrows are sharp

⁶Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:

⁷Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:

⁸All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia,

⁹Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women:

¹⁰Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;

¹¹So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty:

¹²And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;

¹³The king’s daughter is all glorious within:

¹⁴She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework:

¹⁵With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought:

¹⁶Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,

¹⁷I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
