My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

For the choir director: A love song to be sung to the tune “Lilies.” A psalma of the descendants of Korah.

Beautiful words stir my heart.
I will recite a lovely poem about the king,
for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.

You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you forever.

You are the most handsome of all.
Gracious words stream from your lips.
God himself has blessed you forever.

Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.

Put on your sword, O mighty warrior!
You are so glorious, so majestic!

In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in the cause of truth, humility and justice;
let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.

In your majesty, ride out to victory,
defending truth, humility, and justice.
Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!

Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.

Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies’ hearts.
The nations fall beneath your feet.

Your throne, O God,c will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

Your throne, O God,b endures forever and ever.
You rule with a scepter of justice.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.

You love justice and hate evil.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you,
pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.

All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces adorned with ivory
the music of the strings makes you glad.

Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume your robes.
In ivory palaces the music of strings entertains you.

Daughters of kings are among your honored women;
at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

Kings’ daughters are among your noble women.
At your right side stands the queen,
wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir!

Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention:
Forget your people and your father’s house.

Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say.
Forget your people and your family far away.

Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.

For your royal husband delights in your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.

The city of Tyre will come with a gift,d
people of wealth will seek your favor.

The princess of Tyrec will shower you with gifts.
The wealthy will beg your favor.

All glorious is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.

The bride, a princess, looks glorious
in her golden gown.

In embroidered garments she is led to the king;
her virgin companions follow her —
those brought to be with her.

In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king,
accompanied by her bridesmaids.

Led in with joy and gladness,
they enter the palace of the king.

What a joyful and enthusiastic procession
as they enter the king’s palace!

Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
you will make them princes throughout the land.

Your sons will become kings like their father.
You will make them rulers over many lands.

I will perpetuate your memory through all generations;
therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.

I will bring honor to your name in every generation.
Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.
