Psalms 45 - Amplified Bible(AMP)

A Song Celebrating the King’s Marriage.

To the Chief Musician; set to the “Lilies.” A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem. A Song of Love.

1 My heart overflows with a good theme;

I address my psalm to the King.

My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

2You are fairer than the sons of men;

Graciousness is poured upon Your lips;

Therefore God has blessed You forever.

3¶Strap Your sword on Your thigh, O mighty One,

In Your splendor and Your majesty!

4And in Your majesty ride on triumphantly

For the cause of truth and humility and righteousness;

Let Your right hand guide You to awesome things.

5Your arrows are sharp;

The peoples (nations) fall under You;

Your arrows pierce the hearts of the King’s enemies.

6¶Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

7You have loved righteousness (virtue, morality, justice) and hated wickedness;

Therefore God, your God, has anointed You

Above Your companions with the oil of jubilation.

8All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes and cassia;

From ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.

9Kings’ daughters are among Your noble ladies;

At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

10¶Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear:

Forget your people and your father’s house;

11Then the King will desire your beauty;

Because He is your Lord, bow down and honor Him.

12The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;

The rich among the people will seek your favor.

13¶Glorious is the King’s daughter within;

Her robe is interwoven with gold.

14She will be brought to the King in embroidered garments;

The virgins, her companions who follow her,

Will be brought to You.

15With gladness and rejoicing will they be led;

They will enter into the King’s palace.

16¶In place of your fathers will be your sons;

You shall make princes in all the land.

17I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;

Therefore the peoples will praise and give You thanks forever and ever.
