PSALMS 45:5-11

⁵Thine arrows are sharp; the peoples fall under thee; they are in the heart of the king’s enemies.

⁶Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

⁷Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

⁸All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

⁹Kings’ daughters are among thy honourable women: at thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;

¹¹So shall the king desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
