Psalm 45A Royal Wedding Song
|
|
|
|
1. My heart is moved by a noble theme
|
|
as I recite my verses to the king;
|
|
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
|
|
|
|
2. You are the most handsome of men;
|
|
grace flows from your lips.
|
|
Therefore God has blessed you forever.
|
|
|
|
3. Mighty warrior, strap your sword at your side.
|
|
In your majesty and splendor--
|
|
|
|
4. in your splendor ride triumphantly
|
|
in the cause of truth, humility, and justice.
|
|
May your right hand show your awe-inspiring acts.
|
|
|
|
5. Your sharpened arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies;
|
|
the peoples fall under you.
|
|
|
|
6. Your throne, God, is forever and ever;
|
|
the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
|
|
|
|
7. You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
|
|
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy
|
|
more than your companions.
|
|
|
|
8. Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume all your garments;
|
|
from ivory palaces harps bring you joy.
|
|
|
|
9. Kings' daughters are among your honored women;
|
|
the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir,
|
|
stands at your right hand.
|
|
|
|
10. Listen, daughter, pay attention and consider:
|
|
Forget your people and your father's house,
|
|
|
|
11. and the king will desire your beauty.
|
|
Bow down to him, for he is your lord.
|
|
|
|
12. The daughter of Tyre, the wealthy people,
|
|
will seek your favor with gifts.
|
|
|
|
13. In her chamber, the royal daughter is all glorious,
|
|
her clothing embroidered with gold.
|
|
|
|
14. In colorful garments she is led to the king;
|
|
after her, the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.
|
|
|
|
15. They are led in with gladness and rejoicing;
|
|
they enter the king's palace.
|
|
|
|
16. Your sons will succeed your ancestors;
|
|
you will make them princes throughout the land.
|
|
|
|
17. I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations;
|
|
therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
