1. MY HEART overflows with a goodly theme; I address my psalm to a King. My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
2. You are fairer than the children of men; graciousness is poured upon Your lips; therefore God has blessed You forever.
3. Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O mighty One, in Your glory and Your majesty!
4. And in Your majesty ride on triumphantly for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); and let Your right hand guide You to tremendous things.
5. Your arrows are sharp; the peoples fall under You; Your darts pierce the hearts of the King's enemies.
6. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7. You love righteousness, uprightness, and right standing with God and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows. [Heb. 1:8, 9.]
8. Your garments are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; stringed instruments make You glad.
9. Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; at Your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10. Hear, O daughter, consider, submit, and consent to my instruction: forget also your own people and your father's house;
11. So will the King desire your beauty; because He is your Lord, be submissive and reverence and honor Him.
12. And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat your favor with a gift.
13. The King's daughter in the inner part [of the palace] is all glorious; her clothing is inwrought with gold. [Rev. 19:7, 8.]
14. She shall be brought to the King in raiment of needlework; with the virgins, her companions that follow her, she shall be brought to You.
15. With gladness and rejoicing will they be brought; they will enter into the King's palace.
16. Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, whom You will make princes in all the land.
17. I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the people praise and give You thanks forever and ever.
