1For the end, for alternate strains by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved.
2My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.
3Thou art more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on thy lips: therefore God has blessed thee for ever.
4Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Mighty One, in thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;
5and bend thy bow, and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.
6Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under thee) they are in the heart of the king's enemies.
7Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
8Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.
9Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from thy garments, and out of the ivory palaces,
10with which kings' daughters have gladdened thee for thine honour: the queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in divers colours.
11Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father's house.
12Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.
13And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favour.
14All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed as she is in golden fringed garments,
15in embroidered clothing: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.
16They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.
17Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
18They shall make mention of thy name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to thee for ever, even for ever and ever.
