1Mine heart will utter forth a good matter: I will entreat in my works of the king: my tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee forever.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, to wit, thy worship and thy glory:
4And prosper with thy glory: ride upon the word of truth and of meekness and of righteousness: so thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5Thine arrows are sharp to pierce the heart of the King’s enemies: therefore the people shall fall under thee.
6Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom, is a scepter of righteousness.
7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness, because God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh and aloes, and cassia, when thou comest out of the ivory palaces where they have made thee glad.
9King’s daughters were among thine honorable wives: upon thy right hand did stand the Queen in a vesture of gold of Ophir.
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear: forget also thine own people and thy father’s house.
11So shall the King have pleasure in thy beauty: for he is thy Lord, and reverence thou him.
12And the daughter of Tyre with the rich of the people, shall do homage before thy face with presents.
13The King’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of broidered gold.
14She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework: the virgins that follow after her, and her companions shall be brought unto thee.
15With joy and gladness shall they be brought, and shall enter into the king’s palace.
16Instead of thy fathers shall thy children be: thou shalt make them princes through all the earth.
17I will make thy Name to be remembered through all generations: therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee, world without end.
