45:1 <> My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
45:2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, Therefore God has blessed you forever.
45:3 Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty one: Your splendor and your majesty.
45:4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
45:5 Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.
45:6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
45:7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
45:8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
45:9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
45:10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father's house.
45:11 So the king will desire your beauty, Honor him, for he is your lord.
45:12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.
45:13 The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

45:15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king's palace.
45:16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
