You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind;
(A)Grace is poured [a]upon Your lips;
Therefore God has (B)blessed You forever.

Strap (C)Your sword on Your thigh, [b](D)Mighty One,
In Your splendor and majesty!
And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth, (E)humility, and righteousness;
Let Your (F)right hand teach You [c]awesome things.
Your (G)arrows are sharp;
The (H)peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are (I)in the heart of the King’s enemies.

(J)Your throne, God, is forever and ever;
(K)The scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
You have (L)loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has (M)anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.
All Your garments are fragrant with (N)myrrh, aloes, and cassia;
From ivory palaces (O)stringed instruments have made You joyful.
Kings’ daughters are among (P)Your noble women;
At Your (Q)right hand stands the queen in (R)gold from Ophir.

10 Listen, daughter, look and incline your ear:
(S)Forget your people and your father’s house;
11 Then the King will crave your beauty.
Because He is your (T)Lord, (U)bow down to Him.
12 The daughter of (V)Tyre will come with a gift;
The (W)wealthy among the people will seek your favor.

13 The King’s daughter is all glorious within;
Her clothing is (X)interwoven with gold.
14 She will be (Y)brought to the King (Z)in colorful garments;
The (AA)virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15 They will be brought with joy and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King’s palace.
