1 M y heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my psalm to a King. My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

2 Y ou are fairer than the children of men; graciousness is poured upon Your lips; therefore God has blessed You forever.

3 G ird Your sword upon Your thigh, O mighty One, in Your glory and Your majesty!

4 A nd in Your majesty ride on triumphantly for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); and let Your right hand guide You to tremendous things.

5 Y our arrows are sharp; the peoples fall under You; Your darts pierce the hearts of the King’s enemies.

6 Y our throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

7 Y ou love righteousness, uprightness, and right standing with God and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.

8 Y our garments are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; stringed instruments make You glad.

9 K ings’ daughters are among Your honorable women; at Your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 H ear, O daughter, consider, submit, and consent to my instruction: forget also your own people and your father’s house;

11 S o will the King desire your beauty; because He is your Lord, be submissive and reverence and honor Him.

12 A nd, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat your favor with a gift.

13 T he King’s daughter in the inner part is all glorious; her clothing is inwrought with gold.

14 S he shall be brought to the King in raiment of needlework; with the virgins, her companions that follow her, she shall be brought to You.

15 W ith gladness and rejoicing will they be brought; they will enter into the King’s palace.

16 I nstead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, whom You will make princes in all the land.

17 I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the people praise and give You thanks forever and ever.
