Psalm 45:1-6 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;I address my verses to the king;my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.

2. You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips;therefore God has blessed you forever.

3. Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,in your splendor and majesty!

4. In your majesty ride out victoriouslyfor the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!

5. Your arrows are sharpin the heart of the king’s enemies;the peoples fall under you.

6. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
