For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song.

[1] My heart overflows with a noble theme.
I recite my verses for the king.
My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
[2] You are the most excellent of the sons of men.
Grace has anointed your lips,
therefore God has blessed you forever.
[3] Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
in your splendor and your majesty.
[4] In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.
Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
[5] Your arrows are sharp.
The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.
[6] Your throne, God, is forever and ever.
A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
[7] You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
[8] All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
[9] Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women.
At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
[10] Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.
Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
[11] So the king will desire your beauty,
honor him, for he is your lord.
[12] The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.
The rich among the people entreat your favor.
[13] The princess inside is all glorious.
Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
[14] She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
[15] With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led.
They shall enter into the king’s palace.
[16] Your sons will take the place of your fathers.
You shall make them princes in all the earth.
[17] I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

[1] My heart H3820 is inditing H7370§ a good H2896 matter: H1697
I speak H559 of the things which I have made H4639 touching the king: H4428
My tongue H3956 is
The pen H5842 of a ready H4106 writer. H5608
[2] Thou art fairer H3302 than the children H1121 of men: H120
Grace H2580 is poured H3332 into thy lips: H8193 Therefore God H430 hath blessed H1288 thee for ever. H5769
[3] Gird H2296 thy sword H2719 upon thy thigh, H3409 O most mighty, H1368
With thy glory H1935 and thy majesty. H1926
[4] And in thy majesty H1926 ride H7392 prosperously H6743§
Because H1697 of truth H571 and meekness H6037 and righteousness; H6664 And thy right hand H3225 shall teach H3384 thee terrible things. H3372
[5] Thine arrows H2671 are sharp H8150 in the heart H3820 of the king’s H4428 enemies; H341
Whereby the people H5971 fall H5307 under thee.
[6] Thy throne, H3678 O God, H430 is for ever H5769 and ever: H5703
The sceptre H7626 of thy kingdom H4438 is a right H4334 sceptre. H7626
[7] Thou lovest H157 righteousness, H6664 and hatest H8130 wickedness: H7562
Therefore God, H430 thy God, H430 hath anointed H4886 thee with the oil H8081 of gladness H8342 above thy fellows. H2270
[8] All H3605 thy garments H899 smell of myrrh, H4753 and aloes, H174 and cassia, H7102
Out of H4480 the ivory H8127 palaces, H1964 whereby H4482 they have made thee glad. H8055
[9] Kings’ H4428 daughters H1323 were among thy honourable women: H3368

[10] Hearken, H8085 O daughter, H1323 and consider, H7200 and incline H5186 thine ear; H241
Forget H7911 also thine own people, H5971 and thy father’s H1 house; H1004
[11] So shall the king H4428 greatly desire H183 thy beauty: H3308
For he is thy Lord; H113 and worship H7812 thou him.
[12] And the daughter H1323 of Tyre H6865 shall be there with a gift; H4503
Even the rich H6223 among the people H5971 shall intreat H2470 thy favour. H6440§
[13] The king’s H4428 daughter H1323 is all glorious H3520 within: H6441
Her clothing H3830 is of wrought H4865 gold. H2091
[14] She shall be brought H2986 unto the king H4428 in raiment of needlework: H7553
The virgins H1330 her companions H7464 that follow H310 her shall be brought H935 unto thee.
[15] With gladness H8057 and rejoicing H1524 shall they be brought: H2986
They shall enter H935 into the king’s H4428 palace. H1964
[16] Instead of thy fathers H1 shall be thy children, H1121
Whom thou mayest make H7896 princes H8269 in all the earth. H776
[17] I will make thy name H8034 to be remembered H2142 in H1755 all H3605 generations: H1755
Therefore shall the people H5971 praise H3034 thee for ever H5769 and ever. H5703
