Psalms 45
1Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm.
2Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.
3Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea.
4They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.
5The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
6God is in its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.
7The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.
8The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.
9Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth,
10carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield with fire.
11Be empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon the earth.
12The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.
1My 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.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
13The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
