King;My tongue is the pen of a skillful scribe.
2You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace is poured ▼
▼Or through
upon Your lips;Therefore God has blessed You forever.
3Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O ▼
▼Or warrior
Mighty One,In Your splendor and Your majesty!
4And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
Let Your right hand teach You ▼
▼Or fearful
awesome things.5Your arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.
6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.
8All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
9Kings’ daughters are among Your noble ladies;
At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
Forget your people and your father’s house;
11Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.
12The daughter of Tyre will come with a present;
The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13The King’s daughter is all glorious within her chamber;
Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14She will be led to the King in embroidered work;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King’s palace.
16In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall set them up as princes in all the earth.
17I will cause Your name to be remembered from generation to every generation;
Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
