A Song Celebrating the King's Marriage.

^1 (F1)My heart overflows with a good theme;
I address my psalm to the King.
My tongue is like the pen of ^(C1)a skillful writer.

² You are fairer than the sons of men;
^(C1)Graciousness is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has ^(C2)blessed You forever.

³ Strap ^(C1)Your sword on Your thigh, O ^(C2)mighty One,
In Your splendor and Your majesty!

⁴ And in Your majesty ride on triumphantly
For the cause of truth and ^(C1)humility and righteousness;
Let Your ^(C2)right hand guide You to awesome things.

⁵ Your ^(C1)arrows are sharp;
The ^(C2)peoples (nations) fall under You;
Your arrows pierce ^(C3)the hearts of the King's enemies.

^6 (F1)(C1)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
The scepter of ^(C2)uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁷ You have ^(C1)loved righteousness (virtue, morality, justice) and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, your God, has ^(C2)anointed You
Above Your companions with the oil of jubilation. ^(VR1)

⁸ All Your garments are fragrant with ^(C1)myrrh, aloes and cassia;
From ivory palaces ^(C2)stringed instruments have made You glad.

⁹ Kings' daughters are among ^(C1)Your noble ladies;
At Your ^(C2)right hand stands the queen in ^(C3)gold from Ophir.

¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear to my instruction:
^(C1)Forget your people and your father's house;

¹¹ Then the King will desire your beauty;
Because He is your ^(C1)Lord, ^(C2)bow down and honor Him.

¹² The daughter of ^(C1)Tyre will come with a gift;
The ^(C2)rich among the people will seek your favor.

¹³ Glorious is the King's daughter within the palace;
Her robe is ^(C1)interwoven with gold. ^(VR1)

¹⁴ She will be ^(C1)brought to the King ^(C2)in embroidered garments;
The ^(C3)virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.

¹⁵ With gladness and rejoicing will they be led;
They will enter into the King's palace.

¹⁶ In place of your fathers will be ^(F1)your sons;
You shall make princes in all the land.

¹⁷ I will make ^(C1)Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore ^(C2)the peoples will praise and give You thanks forever and ever.
