PSALM 45 My Song to a KingThou art fairer than children of menGrace is poured into Thy lips Therefore hath God blessed thee forever Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, oh Most Mighty In the Majesty rise prosperously Because of truth and meekness and righteousness And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things Thine arrows are shot in their heart The Throne, oh God is forever and ever The scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows Thy garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia Out of the ivory palaces whereby they make thee glad King's daughters are among thy women Upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir Hearken, oh daughter, incline thine ear Forget thine own people and thy father's house Oh, shall the king greatly desire thy beauty He is our Lord and worship thou Him The daughter of Tyre shall be there with gifts Even the rich among the people shall entreat thy fame The king's daughter is all glorious within Her clothing is of wrought gold, in raiment of needlework Her virgins, her companions, follow her With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought They shall enter into the king's palace Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children Whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations I'll praise thee forever and ever and ever and ever, Lord |
