45:1  To the leader: according to Lilies. Of the Korahites. A Maskil. A love song. My heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
45:2  You are the most handsome of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you for ever.
45:3  Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your glory and majesty.
45:4  In your majesty ride on victoriously for the cause of truth and to defend the right; let your right hand teach you dread deeds.
45:5  Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; the peoples fall under you.
45:6  Your throne, O God, endures for ever and ever. Your royal sceptre is a sceptre of equity;
45:7  you love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
45:8  your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
45:9  daughters of kings are among your ladies of honour; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
45:10  Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear; forget your people and your father’s house,
45:11  and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him;
45:12  the people of Tyre will seek your favour with gifts, the richest of the people
45:13  with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;
45:14  in many-coloured robes she is led to the king; behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.
45:15  With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.
45:16  In the place of ancestors you, O king, shall have sons; you will make them princes in all the earth.
45:17  I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you for ever and ever.
