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.
