Psalms 45:5-13

⁵(45-6) Thine arrows are sharp — the peoples fall under thee — they sink into the heart of the king's enemies.

⁶(45-7) Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

⁷(45-8) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

⁸(45-9) Myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

⁹(45-10) Kings' daughters are among thy favourites; at thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰(45-11) 'Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

¹¹(45-12) So shall the king desire thy beauty; for he is thy lord; and do homage unto him.

¹²(45-13) And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat thy favour with a gift.'

¹³(45-14) All glorious is the king's daughter within the palace; her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold.
