Psalms 45:1-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. My heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2. You are fairer than 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 Your majesty!

4. And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.

5. Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King's enemies.

6. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

7. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.

8. All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.

9. Kings' daughters are among Your noble ladies; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

10. Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father's house;

11. Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.
