[1] My heart is moved with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. [2] You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever. [3] Strap Your sword on Your thigh, Mighty One, In Your splendor and majesty! [4] And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things. [5] Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies. [6] Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice. [7] You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions. [8] All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; From ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You joyful. [9] Kings’ daughters are among Your noble women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. [10] Listen, daughter, look and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house; [11] Then the King will crave your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him. [12] The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The wealthy among the people will seek your favor. [13] The King’s daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. [14] She will be brought to the King in colorful garments; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You. [15] They will be brought with joy and rejoicing; They will enter into the King’s palace. [16] In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth. [17] I will make Your name known among all generations; Therefore the peoples will praise You forever and ever.
