For the director of music. To the tune of ‘Lilies’.
Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. A wedding song.
1
My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skilful writer.
2
You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you for ever.
3
Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendour and majesty.
4
In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in the cause of truth, humility and justice;
let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.
5
Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
6
Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a sceptre of justice will be the sceptre of your kingdom.
7
You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.
8
All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces adorned with ivory
the music of the strings makes you glad.
9
Daughters of kings are among your honoured women;
at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.
10
Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention:
Forget your people and your father’s house.
11
Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;
honour him, for he is your lord.
12
The city of Tyre will come with a gift,
people of wealth will seek your favour.
13
All glorious is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.
14
In embroidered garments she is led to the king;
her virgin companions follow her –
those brought to be with her.
15
Led in with joy and gladness,
they enter the palace of the king.
16
Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
you will make them princes throughout the land.
17
I will perpetuate your memory through all generations;
therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.
