For the Chief Musician; set to
Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of the sons
of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
1
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.
