# Psalm 45 (New King James Version)
The Glories of the Messiah and His Bride

##### Chapter 45
###### 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 honorable 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 favor.

###### 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 colors;  
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.
