Psalm 45:3-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.
