Psalm 45
Psalm 45
Psalm 45
You are the fairest of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; *
therefore God has blessed you for ever.
In your majesty ride forth victoriously for the cause of truth and to defend the right; *
let your right hand teach you dread deeds!
Your divine throne endures for ever and ever; your royal scepter is a scepter of equity; *
you love righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows; *
your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; daughters of kings are among your ladies of
honor;*
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes; in many-colored robes she is led to the king,
*
with her virgin companions, her escort, in her train.
