45:1 <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.> My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

45:2 You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.

45:3 Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.

45:4 And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

45:5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.

45:6 Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.

45:7 You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

45:8 Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

45:9 Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.

45:10 O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

45:11 So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.

45:12 And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.

45:13 In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.

45:14 She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.

45:15 With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.

45:16 Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.

45:17 I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.
