Psalm 45 - American Standard Version

Law    History    Wisdom    Prophets    Gospels    Acts    Epistles    Apocalyptic   

1 My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness `and' righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5 Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; `They are' in the heart of the king's enemies.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

8 All thy garments `smell of' myrrh, and aloes, `and' cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

9 Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house:

11 So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre `shall be there' with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

13 The king's daughter within `the palace' is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king's palace.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever. Psalm 46 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of the sons of Korah; set to Alamoth. A Song.
