- 1. <For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Lilies." A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song.><br>
My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer. - 2. You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
- 3. Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.
- 4. In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
- 5. Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.
- 6. Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity 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 fellows.
- 8. All your garments smell like myrrh, 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 the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
- 10. Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father's house.
- 11. So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
- 12. The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.
- 13. The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
- 14. She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
- 15. With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king's palace.
- 16. Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
- 17. I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever. {}
