Tehillim (Psalms) 45
45
1My heart is overflowing with a goodly word; I address my works to the Sovereign; My tongue is the pen of a speedy writer.
2You are more handsome than the sons of men; Favour has been poured upon Your lips; Therefore Elohim has blessed You forever.
3Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, Your excellency and Your splendour.
4And ride prosperously in Your splendour, On the matter of truth and humility, righteousness; And let Your right hand lead You to awesome matters.
5Your arrows are sharp In the heart of the Sovereign’s enemies – Peoples fall under You.
6Your throne, O Elohim, is forever and ever; The sceptre of Your reign Is a sceptre of straightness.
7You have loved righteousness and hated wrongness;#Quoted in Heb. 1:8, 9 where the Greek text has lawlessness instead of wrongness. Therefore Elohim, Your Elohim, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
8All Your garments are myrrh and aloes, cassia; Out of the palaces of ivory, Stringed instruments have made You glad.
9Daughters of sovereigns are among Your precious ones; At Your right hand stands the sovereigness in gold from Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter, and see, And incline your ear, And forget your own people and your father’s house;
11And let the Sovereign delight in your loveliness; Because He is your Master – bow yourself to Him.
12And the daughter of Tsor with a gift, The rich among the people seek your favour.
13The daughter of the Sovereign Is all esteemed within the palace; Her dress is embroidered with gold.
14She is brought to the Sovereign in embroidered work; Maidens, her companions following her, Are brought to You.
15They are brought with gladness and rejoicing; They enter the Sovereign’s palace.
16Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, Whom You appoint princes in all the earth.
17I cause Your Name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people praise You forever and ever.

Psalms 45

PSALM 45
To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; — a song of the Beloved.
1My heart is welling forth with a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God#GodHebrew: Elohim hath blessed thee for ever. 3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, in thy majesty and thy splendour; 4And in thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness and righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5Thine arrows are sharp — peoples fall under thee — in the heart of the king's enemies.
6Thy throne, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim is for ever and ever; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom: 7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God#GodHebrew: Elohim thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions. 8Myrrh and aloes, cassia, are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad. 9Kings' daughters are among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house: 11And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him. 12And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour. 13All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold: 14She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of embroidery; the virgins behind her, her companions, shall be brought in unto thee: 15With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king's palace. 16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth. 17I will make thy name to be remembered throughout all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever.
