1 | 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. |
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 most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. |
4 | And in thy majesty ride prosperously
because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach
thee terrible things. |
5 |
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people
fall under thee. |
6 |
Thy
throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right
sceptre.
Heb 1:8
|
7 |
Thou lovest
righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Heb 1:9
|
8 | All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and
cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. |
9 | Kings' daughters were among thy
honourable women: upon thy right hand did 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 shall the
king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. |
12 | And the daughter of Tyre
shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy
favour. |
13 | The king's
daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. |
14 | She shall be brought unto the king
in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be
brought unto thee. |
15 |
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the
king's palace. |
16 |
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in
all the earth. |
17 | I will
make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people
praise thee for ever and ever. |
