45:1 My heart is overflowing with a beautiful thought! I will write a lovely poem to the King, for I am as full of words as the speediest writer pouring out his story.
45:2 You are the fairest of all; Your words are filled with grace; God himself is blessing you forever.
45:3 Arm yourself, O mighty one, So glorious, so majestic!
45:4 And in your majesty Go on to victory, Defending truth, humility, and justice. Go forth to awe-inspiring deeds!
45:5 Your arrows are sharp In your enemies’ hearts; They fall before you.
45:6 Your throne, O God, endures forever. Justice is your royal scepter.
45:7 You love what is good And hate what is wrong. Therefore God, your God, Has given you more gladness Than anyone else.
45:8 Your robes are perfumed with myrrh, aloes, and cassia. In your palaces of inlaid ivory, lovely music is being played for your enjoyment.
45:9 Kings’ daughters are among your concubines. Standing beside you is the queen, wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir.
45:10 “I advise you, O daughter, not to fret about your parents in your homeland far away. Your royal husband delights in your beauty. Reverence him, for he is your lord.
45:11 “I advise you, O daughter, not to fret about your parents in your homeland far away. Your royal husband delights in your beauty. Reverence him, for he is your lord.
45:12 The people of Tyre, the richest people of our day, will shower you with gifts and entreat your favors.”
45:13 The bride, a princess, waits within her chamber, robed in beautiful clothing woven with gold.
45:14 Lovely she is, led beside her maids of honor to the king!
45:15 What a joyful, glad procession as they enter in the palace gates!
45:16 “Your sons will some day be kings like their father. They shall sit on thrones around the world!
45:17 “I will cause your name to be honored in all generations; the nations of the earth will praise you forever.”
