My heart overflows with a good theme;
I address my verses to the
King;
my tongue is the pen of a
ready writer.
You are fairer than the
sons of men;
grace is poured upon your
lips;
therefore God has blessed
you forever.
Gird your sword on your
thigh, O Mighty One,
in your splendor and your
majesty!
And in your majesty ride on
victoriously,
for the cause of truth and
meekness and righteousness;
let your right hand teach
you awesome things.
Your arrows are sharp;
the peoples fall under you;
your arrows are in
the heart of the King's enemies.
Your throne, O God, is
forever and ever;
a scepter of uprightness is
the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved
righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God,
has anointed you
with the oil of joy above
your fellows.
All your garments are
fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
out of ivory palaces
stringed instruments have made you glad.
Kings' daughters are among
your noble ladies;
at your right hand stands
the queen in gold from Ophir.
Listen, O daughter, give
attention and incline your ear:
forget your people and your
father's house;
then the King will desire
your beauty.
Because he is your LORD,
bow down to him.
The daughter of Tyre will
come with a gift;
the rich among the people
will seek your favor.
The King's daughter is all
glorious within;
her clothing is interwoven
with gold.
She will be led to the King
in embroidered work;
the virgins, her companions
who follow her,
will be brought to you.
They will be led forth with
gladness and rejoicing;
they will enter into the
King's palace.
In place of your fathers
will be your sons;
you shall make them princes
in all the earth.
I will cause your name to
be remembered in all generations;
therefore the peoples will give you thanks forever
and ever.
