Psalm 45

New Living Translation NLT

1 Beautiful words stir my heart. I will recite a lovely poem about the king, for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.

2 You are the most handsome of all. Gracious words stream from your lips. God himself has blessed you forever.

3 Put on your sword, O mighty warrior! You are so glorious, so majestic!

4 In your majesty, ride out to victory, defending truth, humility, and justice. Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!

5 Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies’ hearts. The nations fall beneath your feet.

6 Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice.

7 You love justice and hate evil. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.

8 Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume your robes. In ivory palaces the music of strings entertains you.

9 Kings’ daughters are among your noble women. At your right side stands the queen, wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir!

10 Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say. Forget your people and your family far away.

11 For your royal husband delights in your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.

12 The princess of Tyre will shower you with gifts. The wealthy will beg your favor.

13 The bride, a princess, looks glorious in her golden gown.

14 In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king, accompanied by her bridesmaids.

15 What a joyful and enthusiastic procession as they enter the king’s palace!

16 Your sons will become kings like their father. You will make them rulers over many lands.

17 I will bring honor to your name in every generation. Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.

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.
