1(45) For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer. 2You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever. 3Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty; 4and bend [your bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall guide you wonderfully. 5Your weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under you) [they are] in the heart of the king's enemies. 6Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness. 7You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your fellows. 8Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from your garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces, 9with which kings' daughters have gladdened you for your honor: the queen stood by on your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, [and] arrayed in various colors. 10Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house. 11Because the king has desired your beauty; for he is your Lord. 12And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favor. 13All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments, 14in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to you. 15They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple. 16Instead of your fathers children are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth. 17They shall make mention of your name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to you for ever, even for ever and ever.
