Psalms 45

The Message Bible MSG

1 My heart bursts its banks, spilling beauty and goodness. I pour it out in a poem to the king, shaping the river into words:

2 "You're the handsomest of men; every word from your lips is sheer grace, and God has blessed you, blessed you so much.

3 Strap your sword to your side, warrior! Accept praise! Accept due honor! Ride majestically! Ride triumphantly!

4 Ride on the side of truth! Ride for the righteous meek! "Your instructions are glow-in-the-dark;

5 you shoot sharp arrows Into enemy hearts; the king's foes lie down in the dust, beaten.

6 "Your throne is God's throne, ever and always; The scepter of your royal rule measures right living.

7 You love the right and hate the wrong. And that is why God, your very own God, poured fragrant oil on your head, Marking you out as king from among your dear companions.

8 "Your ozone-drenched garments are fragrant with mountain breeze. Chamber music - from the throne room - makes you want to dance.

9 Kings' daughters are maids in your court, the Bride glittering with golden jewelry.

10 "Now listen, daughter, don't miss a word: forget your country, put your home behind you.

11 Be here - the king is wild for you. Since he's your lord, adore him.

12 Wedding gifts pour in from Tyre; rich guests shower you with presents."

13 (Her wedding dress is dazzling, lined with gold by the weavers;

14 All her dresses and robes are woven with gold. She is led to the king, followed by her virgin companions.

15 A procession of joy and laughter! a grand entrance to the king's palace!)

16 "Set your mind now on sons - don't dote on father and grandfather. You'll set your sons up as princes all over the earth.

17 I'll make you famous for generations; you'll be the talk of the town for a long, long time."

King James Version KJV

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.

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
