‏ Psalms 45

Your Throne, O God, Is Forever

To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil ▼
▼Probably a musical or liturgical term
 of bthe Sons of Korah; a love song.

1My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of ca ready scribe.
 2You are dthe most handsome of the sons of men;
egrace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
 3 fGird your gsword on your thigh, O hmighty one,
in iyour splendor and majesty!
 4In your majesty jride out victoriously
for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
let your right hand teach you kawesome deeds!
 5Your arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king’s enemies;
the peoples fall under you.
 6 lYour throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The mscepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
 7 nyou have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore oGod, your God, has panointed you
with the oil of qgladness rbeyond your companions;
 8your robes are all fragrant with smyrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces tstringed instruments make you glad;
 9daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
uat your right hand stands the queen in vgold of Ophir.
 10Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
forget your people and your father’s house,
 11and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your wlord, xbow to him.
 12The people ▼
▼Hebrew daughter
 of Tyre will zseek your favor with aagifts,
abthe richest of the people. ▼
▼Or  The daughter of Tyre is here with gifts, the richest of people seek your favor

 13All glorious is adthe princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold.
 14 aeIn many-colored robes afshe is led to the king,
with her virgin companions following behind her.
 15With joy and gladness they are led along
as they enter the palace of the king.
 16In place of your fathers shall be your sons;
you will make them agprinces in all the earth.
 17 ahI will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
therefore nations will praise you forever and ever.
