Psalm 45

³Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O ^[h]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 ^[i]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 fellows.
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 gift;
The rich among the people will seek your favor.

¹³The King’s daughter is all glorious within;
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 make them princes in all the earth.
¹⁷I will cause Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
