Psalms 45:1-12

¹To the overcomer, for the lilies, the most loved song of learning of the sons of Korah. Mine heart hath told out a good word; I say my works to the king. My tongue is the pen of a writer; writing swiftly.

²Christ, thou art fairer in shape than the sons of men; grace is spread abroad in thy lips; therefore God blessed thee without end.

³Be thou gird with thy sword; on thy hip most mightily. Behold thou in thy shapeliness and thy fairness;

⁴come thou forth with prosperity, and reign thou. For truth, and mildness, and rightfulness or rightwiseness; and thy right hand shall lead forth thee wonderfully.

⁵Thy sharp arrows shall fall into the hearts of the enemies of the king; peoples shall be under thee.

⁶God, thy seat is into the world of world; the rod of thy realm is a rod of right ruling, or of equity.

⁷Thou lovedest rightfulness or right-wiseness, and hatedest wickedness; therefore thou, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness, more than thy fellows.

⁸Myrrh, and gum, and cassia, of thy clothes, out of the ivory houses or the houses of ivory; of which the daughters of kings delighted thee.

⁹A queen stood nigh on thy right side, in clothing overgilded; compassed with diversity.

¹⁰Daughter, hear thou, and see, and bow down thine ear; and forget thy people, and the house of thy father.

¹¹And the king shall covet thy fair-ness; for he is thy Lord God, and they shall worship him.

¹²And the daughters of Tyre in gifts; all the rich men of the people shall beseech thy cheer.
