Psalms 45:2-15

2Thou art fairer than the children of men;Grace is poured into thy lips:Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,Thy glory and thy majesty.4And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,Because of truth and meekness and righteousness:And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.5Thine arrows are sharp;The peoples fall under thee;They arein the heart of the king’s enemies.6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed theeWith the oil of gladness above thy fellows.8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia;Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.9Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women:At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:11So will the king desire thy beauty;For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.13The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious:Her clothing is inwrought with gold.14She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:The virgins her companions that follow herShall be brought unto thee.15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:They shall enter into the king’s palace.
