³Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.

⁴Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.

⁵With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.

⁶Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king’s enemies.

⁷Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.

⁸Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

¹⁰The daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.

¹¹Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father’s house.

¹²And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.

¹³And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
