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.

Tehillim (Psa) 45

1For the leader. Set to “Lilies.” By the descendants of Korach. A maskil. A lovesong:
2My heart is stirred by a noble theme;
I address my verses to the king;
My tongue is the pen of an expert scribe.
3You are the most handsome of men;
gracious speech flows from your lips.
For God has blessed you forever.
4Warrior, strap your sword at your thigh;
[gird on] your splendor and majesty.
5In your majesty, succeed, ride on
in the cause of truth, meekness and righteousness.
May your right hand teach you awesome things.
6Your arrows are sharp. The people fall under you,
as they penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies.
7Your throne, God, will last forever and ever;
you rule your kingdom with a scepter of equity.
8You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of joy in preference to your companions.
9Your robes are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes and cassia;
from ivory palaces stringed instruments bring you joy.
10Daughters of kings are among your favorites;
at your right stands the queen in gold from Ofir.
11Listen, daughter! Think, pay attention!
Forget your own people and your father’s house,
12and the king will desire your beauty;
for he is your lord, so honor him.
13Then the daughter of Tzor, the richest of peoples,
will court your favor with gifts.
14Inside [the palace], the king’s daughter looks splendid,
attired in checker-work embroidered with gold.
15In brocade, she will be led to the king,
to you, with the virgins in her retinue.
16They will be led in with gladness and joy,
they will enter the king’s palace.
17You will have sons to succeed your ancestors;
you will make them princes in all the land.
18I will make your name known through all generations;
thus the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
