Psalm 45:2-10
English Standard Version
2 You are (A)the most handsome of the sons of men;
(B)grace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 (C)Gird your (D)sword on your thigh, O (E)mighty one,
in (F)your splendor and majesty!
4 In your majesty (G)ride out victoriously
for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
let your right hand teach you (H)awesome deeds!
5 Your arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king's enemies;
the peoples fall under you.
6 (I)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The (J)scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
7 (K)you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore (L)God, your God, has (M)anointed you
with the oil of (N)gladness (O)beyond your companions;
8 your robes are all fragrant with (P)myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces (Q)stringed instruments make you glad;
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
(R)at your right hand stands the queen in (S)gold of Ophir.
10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
forget your people and your father's house,
