Psalms 45:3-13

³Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendour and your majesty.

⁴In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

⁵Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.

⁶Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of your kingdom.

⁷You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

⁸All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

⁹Kings’ daughters are amongst your honourable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

¹¹So the king will desire your beauty, honour him, for he is your lord.

¹²The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich amongst the people entreat your favour.

¹³The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
