My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
|
2
|
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. |
|
3
|
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. |
|
4
|
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. |
|
5
|
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. |
|
6
|
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
Heb 1:8
|
|
7
|
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Heb 1:9
|
|
8
|
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. |
|
9
|
Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. |
|
10
|
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; |
|
11
|
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. |
|
12
|
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. |
|
13
|
The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. |
|
14
|
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. |
|
15
|
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. |
|
16
|
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. |
|
17
|
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. |
