45:1 To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.' -- By sons of Korah. -- An Instruction. -- A song of loves. My heart hath indited a good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.

45:2 Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.

45:3 Gird Thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty, Thy glory and Thy majesty!

45:4 As to Thy majesty -- prosper! -- ride! Because of truth, and meekness -- righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee fearful things.

45:5 Thine arrows [are] sharp, -- Peoples fall under Thee -- In the heart of the enemies of the king.

45:6 Thy throne, O God, [is] age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness [Is] the sceptre of Thy kingdom.

45:7 Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness, Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above thy companions.

45:8 Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad.

45:9 Daughters of kings [are] among thy precious ones, A queen hath stood at thy right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.

45:10 Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And forget thy people, and thy father's house,

45:11 And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he [is] thy lord -- bow thyself to him,

45:12 And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people do appease thy face.

45:13 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Of gold-embroidered work [is] her clothing.

45:14 In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins - - after her -- her companions, Are brought to thee.

45:15 They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the king.

45:16 Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint them for princes in all the earth.

45:17 I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever!
