Psalm 45 :: King James Version (KJV)

A Song Celebrating the King's Marriage.

Psa 45:1[[To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.]] 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.

Psa 45:5

Psa 45:5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

Psa 45:11

Psa 45:11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
