1“For the leader of the music. To be accompanied with the Shoshannim. A song of loveliness by the sons of Korah.” My heart is overflowing with a good matter; I will address my work to the king: May my tongue be like the pen of a ready writer!
2Thou art the fairest of the sons of men; Grace is poured upon thy lips; For God hath blessed thee for ever!
3Gird thy sword to thy thigh, thou hero!-Thy glory and ornament!
4In thy glorious array ride forth victoriously, On account of truth and mildness and justice; And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things!
5Thine arrows are sharp; Nations shall fall before thee; They shall pierce the hearts of the king's enemies.
6Thy throne is God's for ever and ever; The sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of equity!
Psalms 45
Psalms 45:1-6
