Psalm 45

A Royal Wedding Song

For the choir director: according to “The Lilies.”(A) A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.

My heart is moved by a noble theme
as I recite my verses to the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.(B)
You are the most handsome of men;[a]
grace flows from your lips.(C)
Therefore God has blessed you forever.(D)

Mighty warrior, strap your sword at your side.
In your majesty and splendor(E)
in your splendor ride triumphantly
in the cause of truth, humility, and justice.
May your right hand show your awe-inspiring acts.(F)
Your sharpened arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
the peoples fall under you.(G)
