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 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.
-
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
-
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.

- 1 My heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
- 2 You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.
- 3 Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!
- 4 And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.
- 5 Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King's enemies.
- 6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
- 7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.
- 8 All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
- 9 Kings' daughters are among Your noble ladies; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
- 10 Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father's house;
- 11 Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.
- 12 The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
- 13 The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
- 14 She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, 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 name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
