New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 45
1
Beautiful words stir my heart.<br>I will recite a lovely poem about the king,<br>for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.<br>
2
You are the most handsome of all.<br>Gracious words stream from your lips.<br>God (Elohim) himself has blessed you forever.<br>
3
Put on your sword, O mighty warrior!<br>You are so glorious, so majestic!<br>
4
In your majesty, ride out to victory,<br>defending truth, humility, and justice.<br>Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!<br>
5
Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies’ hearts.<br>The nations fall beneath your feet.<br>
6
Your throne, O God (Elohim), endures forever and ever.<br>You rule with a scepter of justice.<br>
7
You love justice and hate evil.<br>Therefore God (Elohim), your God (Elohim), has anointed you,<br>pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.<br>
8
Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume your robes.<br>In ivory palaces the music of strings entertains you.<br>
9
Kings’ daughters are among your noble women.<br>At your right side stands the queen,<br>wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir!<br>
10
Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say.<br>Forget your people and your family far away.<br>
11
For your royal husband delights in your beauty;<br>honor him, for he is your lord.<br>
12
The princess of Tyre will shower you with gifts.<br>The wealthy will beg your favor.<br>
13
The bride, a princess, looks glorious<br>in her golden gown.<br>
14
In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king,<br>accompanied by her bridesmaids.<br>
15
What a joyful and enthusiastic procession<br>as they enter the king’s palace!<br>
16
Your sons will become kings like their father.<br>You will make them rulers over many lands.<br>
17
I will bring honor to your name in every generation.<br>Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.<br>
