King James 2000

Psalms 45:1-7 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. My heart is overflowing with a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready scribe.

2. You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.

3. Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.

4. And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you awesome things.

5. Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; by which the people fall under you.

6. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter.

7. You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
