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 YAHUVEH 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 YAHUVEH, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the
sceptre of thy kingdom. |
7
|
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore YAHUVEH,
thy YAHUVEH, 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 master; 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. |
