Psalm 45:1–9

1 My heart is overflowing with a good theme;

I recite my composition concerning the King;

My tongue is the pen of a 3ready writer.

2 You are fairer than the sons of men;

bGrace is poured upon Your lips;

Therefore God has blessed You forever.

3 4Gird Your csword upon Your thigh, dO Mighty One,

With Your eglory and Your majesty.

4 fAnd in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;

And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.

5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;

The peoples fall under You.

6 gYour throne, O God, is forever and ever;

A hscepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;

Therefore God, Your God, has ianointed You

With the oil of jgladness more than Your companions.

8 All Your garments are kscented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,

Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.

9 lKings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;

mAt Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
