Psalm 45 (BSB)

My Heart Is Stirred by a Noble Theme

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.

1My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses to the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2You are the most handsome of men;
grace has anointed your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
3Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior;
appear in your majesty and splendor.
4In your splendor ride forth in victory
on behalf of truth and humility and justice;
may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes;
the nations fall beneath your feet.
6Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever,
and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You have loved righteousness
and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
above your companions with the oil of joy.
8All your garments are fragrant
with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9The daughters of kings are among your honored women;
the queen stands at your right hand,
adorned with the gold of Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear:
Forget your people and your father’s house,
11and the king will desire your beauty;
bow to him, for he is your lord.
12The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
men of wealth will seek your favor.
13All glorious is the princess in her chamber;
her gown is embroidered with gold.
14In colorful garments she is led to the king;
her virgin companions are brought before you.
15They are led in with joy and gladness;
they enter the palace of the king.
16Your sons will succeed your fathers;
you will make them princes throughout the land.
17I will commemorate your name through all generations;
therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
