Psalms 45:1-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. A marvelous word has stirred my heartas I mention my works to the king.My tongue is the pen of a skillful scribe.

2. You are the most handsome of men;grace has been poured out on your lips.No wonder God has blessed you forever!

3. Strap on your sword, great warrior,with your glory and grandeur.

4. Go and succeed in your grandeur!Ride out on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness!Let your strong hand perform awesome deeds.

5. Let the peoples fall beneath you.May your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies.

6. Your divine throne is eternal and everlasting.Your royal scepter is a scepter of justice.

7. You love righteousness and hate wickedness.No wonder God, your God, has anointed youwith the oil of joy more than all your companions!
