| Psalms 45: (ASV) |
| 1) My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
| 2) Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. |
| 3) Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty. |
| 4) And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. |
| 5) Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They are in the heart of the king's enemies. |
| 6) Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom. |
| 7) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. |
| 8) All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad. |
| 9) Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir. |
| 10) Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house: |
| 11) So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him. |
| 12) And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor. |
| 13) The king's daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold. |
| 14) She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee. |
| 15) With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king's palace. |
| 16) Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth. |
| 17) I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever. |
