Psalms 45:6-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. Your arrows are sharp;peoples will cower at your feet;the king’s enemies will lose heart.

7. Your throne, O God, stands forever;your royal scepter is a scepter for justice.

8. You love justice and hate wrongdoing;therefore God, your God, has anointed youwith the oil of gladness above your fellow kings.

9. With myrrh, aloes, and cassiayour robes are fragrant.From ivory-paneled palacesstringed instruments bring you joy.

10. Daughters of kings are your lovely wives;a princess arrayed in Ophir’s goldcomes to stand at your right hand.

11. Listen, my daughter, and understand;pay me careful heed.Forget your people and your father’s house,

12. that the king might desire your beauty.He is your lord;

13. honor him, daughter of Tyre.Then the richest of the peoplewill seek your favor with gifts.
