Psalms 44:2-13

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 forever.

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 forever and ever: The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter 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 honor: The queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, And arrayed in diverse colors.

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 favor.
