1 My heart † Lit. eructavit. has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.
2 Thou art more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on thy lips: therefore God has blessed thee for ever.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Mighty One, in thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;
4 and bend thy bow, and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.
5 Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under thee) they are in the heart of the king's enemies.
6 ✡ Heb 1. 8-10. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.
7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.
8 Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from thy garments, and out of the ivory palaces,
9 with which kings' daughters have gladdened thee for thine honour: the queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in divers colours.
10 Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father's house.
11 Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy ‡ Gr. face. favour.
13 All her glory is that of the daughter of the king § Alex. ἔσωθεν, within, so Heb. of Esebon, robed as she is in golden fringed garments,
14 in embroidered clothing: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.
15 They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.
16 Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
17 They shall make mention of thy name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to thee ** Gr. to the age of the age. for ever, even for ever and ever.
