To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah a love song. My heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. |
2
|
You are the fairest of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you for ever. |
3
|
Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one, in your glory and majesty! |
4
|
In your majesty ride forth victoriously for the cause of truth and to defend the right; let your right hand teach you dread deeds! |
5
|
Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you. |
6
|
Your divine throne endures for ever and ever. Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity; |
7
|
you love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows; |
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, 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 sue your favor with gifts, the richest of the people |
13
|
with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes; |
14
|
in many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions, her escort, in her train. |
15
|
With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king. |
16
|
Instead of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth. |
17
|
I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you for ever and ever. |
