­PSA 45:1  My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I

 have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

 

­PSA 45:2  Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy

 lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

 

­PSA 45:3  Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy

 majesty.

 

­PSA 45:4  And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness

 and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

 

­PSA 45:5  Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby

 the people fall under thee.

 

­PSA 45:6  Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom

 is a right sceptre.

 

­PSA 45:7  Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy

 God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

 

­PSA 45:8  All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the

 ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

 

­PSA 45:9  Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand

 did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

 

­PSA 45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget

 also thine own people, and thy father's house;

 

­PSA 45:11  So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and

 worship thou him.

 

­PSA 45:12  And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich

 among the people shall intreat thy favour.

 

­PSA 45:13  The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of

 wrought gold.

 

­PSA 45:14  She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the

 virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

 

­PSA 45:15  With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter

 into the king's palace.

 

­PSA 45:16  Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make

 princes in all the earth.

 

­PSA 45:17  I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore

 shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
