Psalm 45

New Coverdale Version

My heart overflows with a noble song; * I will sing my words to the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You are fairer than the children of men; * full of grace are your lips, because God has blessed you for ever.

Gird your sword upon your thigh, most mighty one, * according to your honor and majesty.

In your majesty be victorious; ride out for the sake of truth, to bear witness to righteousness, * and your right hand shall show you marvelous things.

Your arrows are very sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies, * and the peoples shall be subdued under you.

Your throne, O God, endures for ever; * the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter.

You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; * therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

All your garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia; * out of the ivory palaces, stringed instruments have made you glad.

Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women; * at your right hand stands the queen in a vesture of gold, wrought with many colors.

Hearken, O daughter, and consider; incline your ear; * forget your own people, and your father’s house.

So shall the King have pleasure in your beauty; * since he is your Lord, honor him.

And the daughter of Tyre shall bring you gifts; * the rich also among the peoples shall seek your favor.

The King’s daughter is all glorious within the palace; * her clothing is of wrought gold.

She shall be brought to the king in embroidered raiment; * the virgins who are her companions shall bring her to you.

With joy and gladness shall they bring her, * and shall enter into the King’s palace.

Instead of your fathers, you shall have sons, * whom you shall make princes in all the land.

I will make your Name to be remembered from one generation to another; * therefore the peoples shall praise you, world without end.
