Psalm 45:3-10 American Standard Version (ASV)

3. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

4. And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5. Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.

6. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

7. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated 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 ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

9. Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth 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:
