1. My heart is stirred by a beautiful song.I say, “I have composed this special song for the king;my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe.”
2. You are the most handsome of all men!You speak in an impressive and fitting manner!For this reason God grants you continual blessings.
3. Strap your sword to your thigh, O warrior!Appear in your majestic splendor!
4. Appear in your majesty and be victorious!Ride forth for the sake of what is right,on behalf of justice!Then your right hand will accomplish mighty acts!
5. Your arrows are sharpand penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies.Nations fall at your feet.
6. Your throne, O God, is permanent.The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
7. You love justice and hate evil.For this reason God, your God has anointed youwith the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.
