New English Translation

Psalms 45:5-11 New English Translation (NET)

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.

8. All your garments are perfumed with myrrh, aloes, and cassia.From the luxurious palaces comes the music of stringed instruments that makes you happy.

9. Princesses are among your honored guests,your bride stands at your right hand, wearing jewelry made with gold from Ophir.

10. Listen, O princess!Observe and pay attention!Forget your homeland and your family!

11. Then the king will be attracted by your beauty.After all, he is your master! Submit to him!
