Psalms 45:3-9

3Brave soldier, wear your sword at your side! Show what a great king you are!

4Wear your royal clothes and ride out to win against your enemies! Win the war on behalf of truth and justice! Then your strong right hand will do powerful things!

5Your sharp arrows will cut into the heart of your enemies. Nations will fall down under your feet.

6God, you will continue to rule as king always and for ever. Your authority as king will bring justice to your people.

7You love people to do what is right, and you hate anything that is evil. So God, your God, has chosen you to be greater than all your people. He has put special olive oil on you, to make you happy.

8All your clothes have the beautiful smell of myrrh, aloes and cassia. You hear the music of stringed instruments that comes from beautiful palaces. That makes you happy.

9The daughters of kings are among your visitors. Your royal bride stands at your right hand. She is wearing gold from Ophir.
