Salmos 45

To the chief Musician. Shoshannim. For the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of the beloved.

¹ My heart has been stirred over a good matter; I speak of my works regarding the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

² You are the fairest of the sons of men; grace is poured into Your lips; therefore God has blessed You forever.

³ Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O mighty One, with Your glory and Your majesty.

⁴ And ride prosperously in Your majesty, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.

⁵ Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies; peoples fall under You.

⁶ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness.

⁷ You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.

⁸ All Your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.

⁹ Kings’ daughters are among Your precious ones; on Your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰ Listen, O daughter, consider and extend your ear; forget your own people also, and your father’s house.

¹¹ Thus the King shall greatly long for your beauty, for He is your Lord; bow down before Him.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall come with a gift; even the rich among the peoples shall entreat your face.

¹³ The king’s daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is plaited with gold.

¹⁴ She shall be brought to the King in clothing of needlework; the virgins, her companions who follow, shall be brought to You.

¹⁵ They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing; they shall enter into the King’s palace.

¹⁶ In the place of your fathers shall be your sons, whom you will make princes in all the earth.

¹⁷ I will make Your name to be remembered from generation to generation; therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
