Psalms 45

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. Set to "Lilies." By the descendants of Korach. A maskil. A lovesong: My heart is stirred by a noble theme; I address my verses to the king; My tongue is the pen of an expert scribe.

2 You are the most handsome of men; gracious speech flows from your lips. For God has blessed you forever.

3 Warrior, strap your sword at your thigh; [gird on] your splendor and majesty.

4 In your majesty, succeed, ride on in the cause of truth, meekness and righteousness. May your right hand teach you awesome things.

5 Your arrows are sharp. The people fall under you, as they penetrate the hearts of the king's enemies.

6 Your throne, God, will last forever and ever; you rule your kingdom with a scepter of equity.

7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions.

8 Your robes are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes and cassia; from ivory palaces stringed instruments bring you joy.

9 Daughters of kings are among your favorites; at your right stands the queen in gold from Ofir.

10 Listen, daughter! Think, pay attention! Forget your own people and your father's house,

11 and the king will desire your beauty; for he is your lord, so honor him.

12 Then the daughter of Tzor, the richest of peoples, will court your favor with gifts.

13 Inside [the palace], the king's daughter looks splendid, attired in checker-work embroidered with gold.

14 In brocade, she will be led to the king, to you, with the virgins in her retinue.

15 They will be led in with gladness and joy, they will enter the king's palace.

16 You will have sons to succeed your ancestors; you will make them princes in all the land.

17 I will make your name known through all generations; thus the peoples will praise you forever and ever.

New International Version NIV

1 My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

2 You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.

3 Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.

4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.

5 Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.

6 Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.

8 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.

9 Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

10 Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention: Forget your people and your father’s house.

11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.

12 The city of Tyre will come with a gift,people of wealth will seek your favor.

13 All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.

14 In embroidered garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her— those brought to be with her.

15 Led in with joy and gladness, they enter the palace of the king.

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.

17 I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.
