# Chapter 45
|
|
1 My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;
|
|
I address my verses to the king;
|
|
my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
|
|
2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men;
|
|
grace is poured upon your lips;
|
|
therefore God has blessed you forever.
|
|
3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
|
|
in your splendor and majesty!
|
|
4 In your majesty ride out victoriously
|
|
for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
|
|
let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!
|
|
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.
|
|
The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
|
|
7 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
|
|
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
|
|
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
|
|
8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
|
|
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
|
|
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
|
|
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
|
|
10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
|
|
forget your people and your father's house,
|
|
11 and the king will desire your beauty.
|
|
Since he is your lord, bow to him.
|
|
12 The people of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts,
|
|
the richest of the people.
|
|
13 All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold.
|
|
14 In many-colored robes she is led to the king,
|
|
with her virgin companions following behind her.
|
|
15 With joy and gladness they are led along
|
|
as they enter the palace of the king.
|
|
16 In place of your fathers shall be your sons;
|
|
you will make them princes in all the earth.
|
|
17 I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
|
|
therefore nations will praise you forever and ever. |
