KJV Psalms Chapter 45

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. 1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue |is| the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon |thy| thigh, O |most| mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness |and| righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows |are| sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; |whereby| the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, |is| for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom |is| a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 8 All thy garments |smell| of myrrh, and aloes, |and| cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. 9 Kings' daughters |were| among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; 11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he |is| thy Lord; and worship thou him. 12 And the daughter of Tyre |shall be there| with a gift; |even| the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. 13 The king's daughter |is| all glorious within: her clothing |is| of wrought gold. 14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. 15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. 16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
