1 My heart is moved [with] a good word; I recite my {compositions} to [the] king. My tongue [is the] pen [of] a skilled scribe.
2 You are [the most] handsome of [the] sons of humankind; grace is poured out on your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword on [your] thigh, O mighty one, [in] your splendor and your majesty.
4 And [in] your majesty {ride victoriously}, because of truth and humility [and] righteousness. And let your right hand teach you awesome deeds.
5 Your arrows [are] sharp; peoples fall under you in the midst of the king's enemies.
6 Your throne, O God, [is] forever and ever. A scepter of uprightness [is] the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you from among your companions [with] festive oil.
8 All your robes [are scented with] myrrh and aloes [and] cassia. From palaces of ivory stringed instruments gladden you.
9 Kings' daughters [are] among your noble ladies. The queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
10 Hear, O daughter, and {discern} and incline your ear, and forget your people and your father's house.
11 Let the king desire your beauty. Because he [is] your lord, therefore bow down to him.
12 Even the daughter of Tyre [will come] with a gift. [The] rich from among people will seek your {favor}.
13 The king's daughter is all glorious within; her garment [is] of gold embroidered cloth.
14 She is brought to the king [in] colorful garments. [The] young women behind her, her attendants, [are] being brought to you.
15 They are led with joy and gladness. They enter [the] palace of [the] king.
16 In place of your fathers will be your sons. You will make them princes in all the land.
17 I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore peoples will praise you forever and ever.
