Psalms

To the Chief Musician. Concerning the Lilies, for the sons of Korah, a contemplation; A Song of Loves. My heart is overflowing [with] a good matter; I speak of my works to the King; my tongue [is] the pen of a ready writer.

You are the fairest of the sons of men; grace is poured into Your lips; therefore God has blessed You forever.

Gird Your sword on [Your] thigh, O mighty one, [with] Your glory and Your majesty.

And ride prosperously [in] Your majesty, because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and Your right hand shall teach You fearful things.

Your arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; peoples fall under You.

Your throne, O God, [is] forever and ever; the staff of Your kingdom [is] a staff of righteousness.

You love righteousness, and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.

All Your garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes [and] cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.

Kings' daughters [are] among Your precious ones; on Your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

Listen, O daughter, and look; and bow down your ear; and forget your own people and your father's house.

And cause the King greatly to desire your beauty, for He [is] your Lord, and you shall worship Him.

And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift; even the rich among the peoples shall stroke your face.

The king's daughter [is] all glorious within; her clothing [is] trimmed with gold.

She shall be brought to the king in clothing of needlework; the virgins, her companions after her, shall be brought to You.

Your sons shall be in the place of your fathers; you will make them princes in all the land.

I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
