PSALM 45
First Version
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.
1My heart brings forth a goodly thing;
my words that I indite
Concern the King: my tongue's a pen
of one that swift doth write.
2Thou fairer art than sons of men:
into thy lips is store
Of grace infus'd; God therefore thee
hath bless'd for evermore.
3O thou that art the mighty One,
thy sword gird on thy thigh;
Ev'n with thy glory excellent,
and with thy majesty.
4For meekness, truth, and righteousness,
in state ride prosp'rously;
And thy right hand shall thee instruct
in things that fearful be.
5Thine arrows sharply pierce the heart
of th' en'mies of the King;
And under thy subjection
the people down do bring.
6For ever and for ever is,
O God, thy throne of might;
The sceptre of thy kingdom is
a sceptre that is right.
7Thou lovest right, and hatest ill;
for God, thy God, most high,
Above thy fellows hath with th' oil
of joy anointed thee.
8Of aloes, myrrh,
and cassia, a smell thy garments had,
Out of the iv'ry palaces,
whereby they made thee glad.
9Among thy women honourable
kings' daughters were at hand:
Upon thy right hand did the queen
in gold of Ophir stand.
10O daughter, hearken and regard,
and do thine ear incline;
Likewise forget thy father's house,
and people that are thine.
11Then of the King desir'd shall be
thy beauty veh'mently:
Because he is thy Lord, do thou
him worship rev'rently.
12The daughter there of Tyre shall be
with gifts and off 'rings great:
Those of the people that are rich
thy favour shall entreat.
13Behold, the daughter of the King
all glorious is within;
And with embroideries of gold
her garments wrought have been.
14She shall be brought unto the King
in robes with needle wrought;
Her fellow-virgins following
shall unto thee be brought.
15They shall be brought with gladness great,
and mirth on ev'ry side,
Into the palace of the King,
and there they shall abide.
16Instead of those thy fathers dear,
thy children thou may'st take,
And in all places of the earth
them noble princes make.
17Thy name remember'd I will make
through ages all to be:
The people therefore evermore
shall praises give to thee.

Psalms 45
45
A Royal Wedding Song
1For the music director, according to “Lilies.” Of the sons of Korah, a contemplative song, a love song.
2My heart is stirred with a good word. I speak my verses to the king. My tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
3You are the most handsome of the sons of men. Grace pours from your lips. Therefore God has blessed you forever.
4Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.
5In your majesty ride victoriously, on behalf of truth, meekness and justice. Let your right hand display awesome things.
6Your arrows are sharp. Peoples fall beneath you— into the heart of the king’s enemies.
7Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and a scepter of justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
8You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, God, your God, anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.
9All your robes have myrrh, aloes, cassia. From ivory palaces, stringed instruments make you glad.
10Kings’ daughters are among your honored women. At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
11“Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear. Forget your people and your father’s house.
12Then the king will desire your beauty. Honor him, for he is your lord.
13A daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The richest people will court your favor.”
14All glorious is the king’s daughter within the palace— her gown is interwoven with gold.
15She will be led to the king in embroidered garments. Her virgins, her companions following her, are coming in to you.
16They are led in with joy and gladness— they enter into the palace of the king.
17Your sons will take your fathers’ place. You will make them princes throughout the land.
18I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
