Psalm 44:4-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. Fasten your sword to your thigh, O most powerful one.

5. With your splendor and your excellence extended, proceed prosperously, and reign for the sake of truth and meekness and justice, and so will your right hand lead you wondrously.

6. Your arrows are sharp; the people will fall under you, with the hearts of the enemies of the king.

7. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of true aim.

8. You have loved justice and hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you, before your co-heirs, with the oil of gladness.
