Your throne, God, is forever and ever;
the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

For the choir director: according to “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.My heart is moved by a noble theme
as I recite my verses to the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy
more than your companions.

You are the most handsome of men;
grace flows from your lips.
Therefore God has blessed you forever.

and the king will desire your beauty.
Bow down to him, for he is your lord.

Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume all your garments;
from ivory palaces harps bring you joy.

Listen, daughter, pay attention and consider:
forget your people and your father’s house,

Mighty warrior, strap your sword at your side.
In your majesty and splendor—

Kings’ daughters are among your honored women;
the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir,
stands at your right hand.

In her chamber, the royal daughter is all glorious,
her clothing embroidered with gold.

in your splendor ride triumphantly
in the cause of truth, humility, and justice.
May your right hand show your awe-inspiring acts.

The daughter of Tyre, the wealthy people,
will seek your favor with gifts.

In colorful garments she is led to the king;
after her, the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.

I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations;
therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.

Your sons will succeed your ancestors;
you will make them princes throughout the land.

Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
the peoples fall under you.

They are led in with gladness and rejoicing;
they enter the king’s palace.
