Psalm 45:10-17

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Listen, daughter; pay attention, and listen closely!
    Forget your people and your father’s house.
¹¹ Let the king desire your beauty.
    Because he is your master, bow down to him now.
¹² The city of Tyre, the wealthiest of all,
    will seek your favor with gifts, ¹³ with riches of every sort
    for the royal princess, dressed in pearls,^[a]
        her robe embroidered with gold.
¹⁴ In robes of many colors, she is led to the king.
    Her attendants, the young women servants following her,
    are presented to you as well.
¹⁵ As they enter the king’s palace,
    they are led in with celebration and joy.

¹⁶ Your sons, great king, will succeed your fathers;^[b]
    you will appoint them as princes throughout the land.
¹⁷ I will perpetuate your name from one generation to the next
    so the peoples will praise you forever and always.
