MLV(i)
1 My heart overflows with a good matter. I speak the things which I have made concerning the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the sons of men. Favor is poured into your lips. Therefore God has blessed you everlasting.
3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one, your glory and your majesty. 4 And in your majesty ride on prosperously because of truth and gentleness and righteousness. And your right hand will teach you awesome things.
5 Your arrows are sharp. The peoples fall under you. They are in the heart of the king's enemies.
6 Your throne, O God, is everlasting and forever. A scepter of straightness is the scepter of your kingdom. 7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.
8 All your garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad. 9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Listen, O daughter and consider and incline your ear. Forget also your own people and your father's house. 11 So will the king desire your beauty, because he is your lord and bow to him. 12 And the daughter of Tyre will adore him with a gift. The rich among the people will entreat your favor. 13 Inside, the king's daughter is all glorious. Her clothing is embroidered with gold.
14 She will be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, will be brought to you. 15 They will be led with gladness and rejoicing. They will enter into the king's palace. 16 Instead of your fathers will be your sons, whom you will make rulers in all the earth.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples will give you thanks everlasting and forever.
