1To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men: Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, With thy glory and thy majesty.
4And in thy majesty ride prosperously Because of truth and meekness and righteousness; And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5Thine arrows are sharp In the heart of the king’s enemies; Whereby the people fall under thee.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
