Psa 45:1

Psa 45:1<To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.> My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Psa 45:2

Psa 45:2You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.

Psa 45:3Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.

Psa 45:5Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.

Psa 45:9Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.

Psa 45:10

Psa 45:10O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

Psa 45:11

Psa 45:11So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.

Psa 45:13In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.

Psa 45:14She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.

Psa 45:15With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.

Psa 45:16Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.

Psa 45:17

Psa 45:17I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.
