ASV(i)
1 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter;
I speak the things which I have made touching the king:
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men;
Grace is poured into thy lips:
Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,
Thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,
Because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness:
And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under thee;
[They are] in the heart of the king's enemies. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:
Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee
With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 8 All thy garments [smell of] myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad. 9 Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women:
At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house: 11 So will the king desire thy beauty;
For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him. 12 And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;
The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor. 13 The king's daughter within [the palace] is all glorious:
Her clothing is inwrought with gold. 14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:
The virgins her companions that follow her
Shall be brought unto thee. 15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:
They shall enter into the king's palace. 16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,
Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth. 17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
