| 45:1
| 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.
|
| 45:2
| Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips:
therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
|
| 45:3
| Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy
majesty.
|
| 45:4
| And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and
righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
|
| 45:5
| Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the
people fall under thee.
|
| 45:6
| Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a
right sceptre.
|
| 45:7
| Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy
God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
|
| 45:8
| All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory
palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
|
| 45:9
| Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand
did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
|
| 45:10
| Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also
thine own people, and thy father's house;
|
| 45:11
| So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and
worship thou him.
|
| 45:12
| And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among
the people shall entreat thy favour.
|
| 45:13
| The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought
gold.
|
| 45:14
| She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins
her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
|
| 45:15
| With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into
the king's palace.
|
| 45:16
| Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make
princes in all the earth.
|
| 45:17
| I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore
shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
