Psalms 45
45
For the Music Director. To the melody of “Lilies.” A Contemplative Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.
1My heart is overflowing with a good thought;
I am speaking my works for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skilled scribe.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 You are fairer than all the sons of men;
favor is poured on your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
with your splendor and your majesty.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 In your majesty ride prosperously
because of truth and meekness and righteousness;
and your right hand will teach you awesome things.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies;
peoples will fall under you.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
the scepter of Your kingdom is an upright scepter.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, anointed you
with the oil of gladness above your companions.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from the ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women;
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;
forget your own people, and your father’s house,
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your lord, bow to him.
12The daughter of Tyre will be there with a gift;
even the rich among the people will entreat your favor.
13The royal daughter is all glorious within her chamber;
her clothing is plaited gold.
14She shall be brought to the king in embroidered garments;
the virgins, her companions who follow her,
shall be brought to you.
15With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16Your sons shall succeed your fathers;
you will make them princes in all the land.
17I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
therefore the people will praise you forever and ever.

Psalm 45
For the choir director; according to shoshannim; #45:0 Unknown musical term. a maskil by Korah’s descendants; a love song.
1My heart is overflowing with good news.
I will direct my song to the king.
My tongue is a pen for a skillful writer.
2You are the most handsome of Adam’s descendants.
Grace is poured on your lips.
That is why God has blessed you forever.
3O warrior, strap your sword to your side
with your splendor and majesty.
4Ride on victoriously in your majesty
for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness.
Let your right hand teach you awe-inspiring things.
5Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies.
Nations fall beneath you.
6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The scepter in your kingdom is a scepter for justice.
7You have loved what is right and hated what is wrong.
That is why God, your God, has anointed you,
rather than your companions, with the oil of joy.
8All your robes are ⌞fragrant⌟ with myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
From ivory palaces the music of stringed instruments delights you.
9The daughters of kings are among your noble ladies.
The queen takes her place at your right hand
and wears gold from Ophir.
10Listen, daughter! Look closely!
Turn your ear ⌞toward me⌟.
Forget your people, and forget your father’s house.
11The king longs for your beauty.
He is your Lord.
Worship him.
12The people of Tyre, the richest people,
want to win your favor with a gift.
13The daughter of the king is glorious inside ⌞the palace⌟.
Her dress is embroidered with gold.
14Wearing a colorful gown, she is brought to the king.
Her bridesmaids follow her.
They will be brought to you.
15With joy and delight they are brought in.
They enter the palace of the king.
16Your sons will take the place of your father.
You will make them princes over the whole earth.
17I will cause your name to be remembered throughout every generation.
That is why the nations will give thanks to you forever and ever.
