To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Lilies.' A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love. 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.
