Psalms 45:3-9

3Gird 1Your sword on Your thigh, O 2 3Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!4And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and 4meekness and righteousness; Let Your 5right hand teach You 6awesome things.5Your 7arrows are sharp; The 8peoples fall under You; Your arrows are 9in the heart of the King’s enemies.

6 10Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of 11uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.7You have 12loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has 13anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.8All Your garments are fragrant with 14myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces 15stringed instruments have made You glad.9Kings’ daughters are among 16Your noble ladies; At Your 17right hand stands the queen in 18gold from Ophir.
