Chapter 45

1: 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 forever.

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 rightsceptre.
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 thyfavour.

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.
