7Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a scepter of justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. 8You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, God, your God, anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions. All your robes have myrrh, aloes, cassia.

At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir. 11“Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear. Forget your people and your father’s house.
