PSALM 45

The Beauty of the Warrior

To the director; for the changings; to the sons of Korah; for contemplation; an ode for the beloved.

1 [²discharged forth ¹My heart ⁴word ³a good]. I speak of my works to the king. My tongue is a reed pen of a scribe writing fast. 2 More beautiful in beauty than the sons of men. [²was poured out ¹Favor] on your lips. On account of this [²blessed ³you ¹God] into the eon. 3 Gird your broadsword upon your thigh! O mighty one, in your beauty. 4 And in your fineness, even stretch tight your bow, and greatly prosper, and reign! Because of truth, and gentleness, and righteousness even shall [²guide ³you ⁴wonderfully ¹your right hand]. 5 Your arrows are being sharpened, O mighty one. Peoples [²underneath ³you ¹shall fall] in the heart of the enemies of the king. 6 Your throne, O God, is unto the eon of the eon. A rod of straightness is the rod of your kingdom. 7 You loved righteousness, and detested lawlessness; on account of this [³anointed ⁴you ¹God ²your God] with oil of exultation beyond your fellow partakers. 8 Myrrh, and balsam, and cassia of your garments from palaces of ivory, 9 from of which [³gladdened ⁴you ¹the daughters ²of kings] in your honor. [³stood ¹The ²queen] at your right [²in ³clothes ⁵interwoven with gold ¹having put around ⁴being embroidered]. 10 Hear, O daughter, and behold! And lean your ear, and forget your people, and the house of your father! 11 Even [³desired ¹the ²king] your beauty; for he is your lord, and you shall do obeisance to him. 12 And the daughter of Tyre shall come with gifts. [⁶your face ⁵will implore ¹The ²rich ³of the ⁴people]. 13 All the glory of the daughter of the king within, with bordered fringes of gold, 14 being put around, being embroidered. [²shall be carried ³to the ⁴king ¹The virgins] after her; the ones near her shall be carried to you. 15 They shall be carried in gladness and exultation; they shall be led into the temple of the king. 16 In place of your fathers, [²were born ¹your sons]. You shall place them as rulers over all the earth. 17 I will make [²remembered ¹your name] in every generation, and generation. On account of this peoples will make acknowledgment to you into the eon, and into the eon of the eon.
