To the chief Musician
upon Shoshannim,
for the sons
of Korah,
Maschil,
A Song
of loves.
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.

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;
interwoven with gold

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.
