To the conductor, upon lilies, for the sons of Korah: a Maskil, a song of loves.1My heart has overflowed with a pleasant word;
I speak my deeds to the king;
my tongue is the stylus of a ready scribe.2You are more beautiful than the sons of man;
grace has been poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.3Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty man,
your splendor and your glory.4In your majesty ride prosperously on the word of truth and the gentleness of righteousness,
and let your right hand teach you fearful deeds.5Your arrows are sharpened;
peoples fall beneath you into the heart of the king's enemies.6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.8Myrrh and aloes and cassia perfume all your garments from ivory palaces;
stringed instruments have made you glad.9Daughters of kings are among your precious ones;
the queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.10Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;
forgot your people and your father's house.11The king will desire your beauty,
for he is your lord; bow down to him.12And the daughter of Tyre comes with an offering;
the rich of the people seek your face.13All glorious is the king's daughter within;
her clothing is of gold filigree.14In embroidered garments she is led to the king;
after her the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.15They are led with joy and gladness;
they enter the palace of the king.16In place of your fathers shall be your sons;
you will set them as rulers in all the land.17I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
