| [To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah a love song.] | Royal Wedding Song. Psalm 45(v44) | ||
| My heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. | |||
| You are the fairest of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you for ever. | |||
| Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one, in your glory and majesty! | |||
| 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 arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you. | |||
| 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. | |||
| Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear; forget your people and your father's house; | |||
| and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him; | |||
| the people of Tyre will sue your favor with gifts, the richest of the people with all kinds of wealth. | |||
| 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. | |||
| With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king. | |||
| Instead of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth. | |||
| I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you for ever and ever. | |||
