Psalms 45:1-6

¹For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of the sons of Korah. A maschil. A song of loves. My heart overflows on a good subject; I will read aloud the words I have composed about the king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

²You are fairer than the children of mankind; grace is poured onto your lips; therefore we know that God has blessed you forever.

³Put your sword on your side, mighty one, in your glory and your majesty.

⁴In your majesty ride on triumphantly because of trustworthiness, meekness, and righteousness; your right hand will teach you fearful things.

⁵Your arrows are sharp; the peoples fall under you; your arrows are in the hearts of the king's enemies.

⁶Your throne, God, is forever and ever; a scepter of justice is the scepter of your kingdom.
