45:1  My heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue resembles the pen of a ready writer.

45:2  You seem fairer than the sons of men; Grace pours upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

45:3  Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!

45:4  And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.

45:5  Your sharp arrows penetrate deeply; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows find their way to the heart of the King's enemies.

45:6   Your throne, O God, lasts forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness serves the scepter of Your kingdom.

45:7  You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.

45:8  All Your garments smell fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.

45:9  Kings' daughters dwell among Your noble ladies; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

45:10  Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father's house;

45:11  Then the King will desire your beauty. Because you acknowledge Him as your Lord, bow down to Him.

45:12  The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.

45:13  The King's daughter radiates glory from within; Her seamstresses have interwoven her clothing with gold.

45:14  She will appear before the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will also appear before You.

45:15  They will follow with gladness and rejoicing; They will enter into the King's palace.

45:16  In place of your fathers will dwell your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.

45:17  I will cause Your name to have remembrance in all generations; Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
