Psalms 45:11-17
Settings
11
and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him;
12
the people of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts, the richest of the people
13
with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;
14
in many-colored robes she is led to the king; behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.
15
With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.
16
In the place of ancestors you, O king, shall have sons; you will make them princes in all the earth.
17
I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.

Psalms 45:11-17 In-Context
9
daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10
Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear; forget your people and your father's house,
11
and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him;
12
the people of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts, the richest of the people
13
with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;
14
in many-colored robes she is led to the king; behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.
15
With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.
16
In the place of ancestors you, O king, shall have sons; you will make them princes in all the earth.
17
I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
