Psalms 45 For the end, for alternate strains by the sons of Korah; for instruction, A song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter; I declare my works to the king; my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the end, for alternate strains by the sons of Korah; for instruction, A song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter; I declare my works to the king; my tongue is the pen of a quick writer. ² You are more beautiful than the sons of men; grace has been shed forth on Your lips; therefore God has blessed You forever. ³ Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, in Your comeliness, and in Your beauty; ⁴ and bend Your bow, and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Your right hand shall guide You wonderfully. ⁵ Your weapons are sharpened, O Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under You) they are in the heart of the king's enemies. ⁶ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your kingdom is the scepter of righteousness. ⁷ You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness beyond Your companions. ⁸ Myrrh, aloes, and cassia emanate from Your garments, and out of the ivory palaces, ⁹ with which kings' daughters have gladdened You for Your honor; the queen stood by on Your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in many colors. ¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house. ¹¹ Because the King has desired your beauty; for He is your Lord. ¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall adorn Him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favor. ¹³ All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Heshbon, robed in golden fringed garments, ¹⁴ in embroidered clothing; virgins shall be brought to the king after her; her fellows shall be brought to You. ¹⁵ They shall be brought with gladness and exaltation; they shall be led into the king's temple. ¹⁶ Instead of Your fathers children are born to You; You shall make them princes over all the earth. ¹⁷ They shall make mention of Your name from generation to generation; therefore shall the nations give thanks to You forever, even forever and ever.
