A Song Celebrating the King's Marriage.
For the choir director; according to the Shoshannim. F401 A Maskil F401 of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.
1 My heart overflows F402 with a good theme;
I address F403 my verses F404 to the King; F405
My tongue is the pen of a R1364 ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace R1365 is poured upon F406 Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed R1366 You forever.
3 Gird Your R1367 sword on Your thigh, O Mighty R1368 F407 One,
In Your splendor and Your majesty!
4 And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and meekness R1369 and righteousness;
Let Your right R1370 hand teach You awesome F408 things.
5 Your arrows R1371 are sharp;
The peoples R1372 fall under You;
Your arrows are in R1373 the heart of the King's enemies.
6 Your R1374 throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of uprightness R1375 is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7 You have loved R1376 righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed R1377 You
With the oil of joy above Your fellows.
8 All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh R1378 and aloes and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces stringed R1379 instruments have made You glad.
9 Kings' daughters are among Your R1380 noble ladies;
At Your right R1381 hand stands the queen in gold R1382 from Ophir.
10 Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
Forget R1383 your people and your father's house;
11 Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your Lord, R1384 bow R1385 down to Him.
12 The daughter of Tyre R1386 will come with a gift;
The rich R1387 among the people will seek your favor.
13 The King's daughter is all glorious within;
Her clothing is interwoven R1388 with gold.
14 She will be led R1389 to the King in R1390 embroidered work;
The virgins, R1391 her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15 They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King's palace.
16 In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17 I will cause Your R1392 name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the peoples will R1393 give You thanks forever and ever.
