Psalm 45:3-5
The Message
2-4 “You’re the handsomest of men;
every word from your lips is sheer grace,
and God has blessed you, blessed you so much.
Strap your sword to your side, warrior!
Accept praise! Accept due honor!
Ride majestically! Ride triumphantly!
Ride on the side of truth!
Ride for the righteous meek!
4-5 “Your instructions are glow-in-the-dark;
you shoot sharp arrows
Into enemy hearts; the king’s
foes lie down in the dust, beaten.
Psalm 45:3-5

in the cause of truth, humility and justice;(E)
let your right hand(F) achieve awesome deeds.(G)
5 Let your sharp arrows(H) pierce the hearts(I) of the king’s enemies;(J)
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
