Psalm 45:1-7

Darby Translation

To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction;—a song of the Beloved.

45 My heart is welling forth [with] a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

² Thou art fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

³ Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O mighty one, [in] thy majesty and thy splendour;

⁴ And [in] thy splendour ride prosperously, because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

⁵ Thine arrows are sharp—peoples fall under thee—in the heart of the king's enemies.

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom:

⁷ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
