Psalm 45:10-17
The Message
10-12 “Now listen, daughter, don’t miss a word:
forget your country, put your home behind you.
Be here—the king is wild for you.
Since he’s your lord, adore him.
Wedding gifts pour in from Tyre;
rich guests shower you with presents.”
13-15 (Her wedding dress is dazzling,
lined with gold by the weavers;
All her dresses and robes
are woven with gold.
She is led to the king,
followed by her virgin companions.
A procession of joy and laughter!
a grand entrance to the king’s palace!)
16-17 “Set your mind now on sons—
don’t dote on father and grandfather.
You’ll set your sons up as princes
all over the earth.
I’ll make you famous for generations;
you’ll be the talk of the town
for a long, long time.”
Psalm 45:10-17
New International Version
10 Listen, daughter,(A) and pay careful attention:(B)
Forget your people(C) and your father’s house.
11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;(D)
honor(E) him, for he is your lord.(F)
12 The city of Tyre(G) will come with a gift,[a](H)
people of wealth will seek your favor.
13 All glorious(I) is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.(J)
14 In embroidered garments(K) she is led to the king;(L)
her virgin companions(M) follow her—
those brought to be with her.
15 Led in with joy and gladness,(N)
they enter the palace of the king.
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
you will make them princes(O) throughout the land.
