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.

To the Chief Musician. #Ps. 69:titleSet to “The Lilies.” A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.
1My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2You are fairer than the sons of men;
#Luke 4:22Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.
3Gird Your #(Is. 49:2; Heb. 4:12); Rev. 1:16sword upon Your thigh, #(Is. 9:6)O Mighty One,
With Your #Jude 25glory and Your majesty.
4#Rev. 6:2And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;
And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
5Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;
The peoples fall under You.
6#(Ps. 93:2); Heb. 1:8, 9Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A #(Num. 24:17)scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has #Ps. 2:2anointed You
With the oil of #Ps. 21:6; Heb. 1:8, 9gladness more than Your companions.
8All Your garments are #Song 1:12, 13scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
9#Song 6:8Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;
#1 Kin. 2:19At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
#Deut. 21:13; Ruth 1:16, 17Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
11So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
#Ps. 95:6; (Is. 54:5)Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
12And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
#Is. 49:23The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;
Her clothing is woven with gold.
14#Song 1:4She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
15With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
They shall enter the King’s palace.
16Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,
#(1 Pet. 2:9; Rev. 1:6; 20:6)Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
17#Mal. 1:11I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
