| Psalm 45 |
| A Psalm Of The Messiah,
Jesus Christ The Righteous |
|
|
| My heart is inditing a
good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king:
my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
| Thou art fairer than the
children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath
blessed thee for ever. |
| Gird thy sword upon thy
thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. |
| And in thy majesty ride
prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy
right hand shall teach thee terrible things. |
| Thine arrows are sharp in
the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. |
| Thy throne, O God, is for
ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. |
| Thou lovest righteousness,
and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with
the oil of gladness above thy fellows. |
| All thy garments smell of
myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they
have made thee glad. |
| Kings' daughters were
among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in
gold of Ophir. |
| Hearken, O daughter, and
consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy
father's house; |
| So shall the king greatly
desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. |
| And the daughter of Tyre
shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat
thy favour. |
| The king's daughter is all
glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. |
| She shall be brought unto
the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that
follow her shall be brought unto thee. |
| With gladness and
rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's
palace. |
| Instead of thy fathers
shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. |
| I will make thy name to be
remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee
for ever and ever. |
