Psalm 45

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil.Title: Probably a literary or musical term A wedding song.

1My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

2You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you forever.

3Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.

4In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.

5Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.

6Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

7You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.

8All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces adorned with ivory
the music of the strings makes you glad.

9Daughters of kings are among your honored women;
at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

10Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear:
Forget your people and your father's house.

11The king is enthralled by your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.

12The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift,Or A Tyrian robe is among the gifts
men of wealth will seek your favor.

13All glorious is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.

14In embroidered garments she is led to the king;
her virgin companions follow her
and are brought to you.

15They are led in with joy and gladness;
they enter the palace of the king.

16Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
you will make them princes throughout the land.

17I will perpetuate your memory through all generations;
therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.
