Berean Standard Bible

Psalms 45:1-5

1 1My heart is stirred by a noble themeas I recite my verses to the king;2my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.2You are the most handsome of men;grace has anointed your lips;therefore God has blessed you forever.3Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior;appear in your majesty and splendor.4In your splendor ride forth in victoryon behalf of truth and humility and justice;may your right hand show your awesome deeds.5Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes;the nations fall beneath your feet.
