Psalm 45:1-2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 45
Ode for a Royal Wedding
To the leader: according to Lilies. Of the Korahites. A Maskil. A love song.
1 My heart overflows with a goodly theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.(A)
2 You are the most handsome of men;
grace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.(B)
Psalm 45:6-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Your throne, O God,[a] endures forever and ever.
Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity;(A)
7 you love righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;(B)
8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;(C)
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.(D)
