|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Beautiful words stir my heart.
|
|
|
|
I will recite a lovely poem about the king,
|
|
|
|
for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. You are the most handsome of all.
|
|
|
|
Gracious words stream from your lips.
|
|
|
|
God himself has blessed you forever.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Put on your sword, O mighty warrior!
|
|
|
|
You are so glorious, so majestic!
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. In your majesty, ride out to victory,
|
|
|
|
defending truth, humility, and justice.
|
|
|
|
Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies' hearts.
|
|
|
|
The nations fall beneath your feet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.
|
|
|
|
You rule with a scepter of justice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. You love justice and hate evil.
|
|
|
|
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you,
|
|
|
|
pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume your robes.
|
|
|
|
In ivory palaces the music of strings entertains you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Kings' daughters are among your noble women.
|
|
|
|
At your right side stands the queen,
|
|
|
|
wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir!
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say.
|
|
|
|
Forget your people and your family far away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. For your royal husband delights in your beauty;
|
|
|
|
honor him, for he is your lord.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. The princess of Tyre will shower you with gifts.
|
|
|
|
The wealthy will beg your favor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. The bride, a princess, looks glorious
|
|
|
|
in her golden gown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king,
|
|
|
|
accompanied by her bridesmaids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. What a joyful and enthusiastic procession
|
|
|
|
as they enter the king's palace!
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You will make them rulers over many lands.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.
