Psalm 45:1-9

English Standard Version Anglicised

45 My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;
    I address my verses to the king;
    my tongue is like the pen of ^(B)a ready scribe.
² You are ^(C)the most handsome of the sons of men;
    ^(D)grace is poured upon your lips;
    therefore God has blessed you for ever.
^3 (E)Gird your ^(F)sword on your thigh, O ^(G)mighty one,
    in ^(H)your splendour and majesty!
⁴ In your majesty ^(I)ride out victoriously
    for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
    let your right hand teach you ^(J)awesome deeds!
⁵ Your arrows are sharp
    in the heart of the king's enemies;
    the peoples fall under you.
^6 (K)Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever.
    The ^(L)sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness;
^{7     (M)}you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore ^(N)God, your God, has ^(O)anointed you
    with the oil of ^(P)gladness ^(Q)beyond your companions;
⁸     your robes are all fragrant with ^(R)myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces ^(S)stringed instruments make you glad;
⁹     daughters of kings are among your ladies of honour;
    ^(T)at your right hand stands the queen in ^(U)gold of Ophir.
