To the chief Musician{H5329}{H8764)} upon Shoshannim{H7799}, for the sons{H1121} of Korah{H7141}, Maschil{H4905}{H8688)}, A Song{H7892} of loves{H3039}. My heart{H3820} is inditing{H7370}{H8804)} a good{H2896} matter{H1697}: I speak{H559}{H8802)} of the things which I have made{H4639} touching the king{H4428}: my tongue{H3956} is the pen{H5842} of a ready{H4106} writer{H5608}{H8802)}.

Thou art fairer{H3302}{H8795)} than the children{H1121} of men{H120}: grace{H2580} is poured{H3332}{H8717)} into thy lips{H8193}: therefore God{H430} hath blessed{H1288}{H8765)} thee for ever{H5769}.

Gird{H2296}{H8798)} thy sword{H2719} upon thy thigh{H3409}, O most mighty{H1368}, with thy glory{H1935} and thy majesty{H1926}.

And in thy majesty{H1926} ride{H7392}{H8798)} prosperously{H6743}{H8798)} because{H1697} of truth{H571} and meekness{H6037} and righteousness{H6664}; and thy right hand{H3225} shall teach{H3384}{H8686)} thee terrible things{H3372}{H8737)}.

Thine arrows{H2671} are sharp{H8150}{H8802)} in the heart{H3820} of the king's{H4428} enemies{H341}{H8802)}; whereby the people{H5971} fall{H5307}{H8799)} under thee.

Thy throne{H3678}, O God{H430}, is for ever{H5769} and ever{H5703}: the sceptre{H7626} of thy kingdom{H4438} is a right{H4334} sceptre{H7626}.

Thou lovest{H157}{H8804)} righteousness{H6664}, and hatest{H8130}{H8799)} wickedness{H7562}: therefore God{H430}, thy God{H430}, hath anointed{H4886}{H8804)} thee with the oil{H8081} of gladness{H8342} above thy fellows{H2270}.

All thy garments{H899} smell of myrrh{H4753}, and aloes{H174}, and cassia{H7102}, out of the ivory{H8127} palaces{H1964}, whereby{H4482} they have made thee glad{H8055}{H8765)}.

Kings{H4428}' daughters{H1323} were among thy honourable women{H3368}: upon thy right hand{H3225} did stand{H5324}{H8738)} the queen{H7694} in gold{H3800} of Ophir{H211}.

Hearken{H8085}{H8798)}, O daughter{H1323}, and consider{H7200}{H8798)}, and incline{H5186}{H8685)} thine ear{H241}; forget{H7911}{H8798)} also thine own people{H5971}, and thy father's{H1} house{H1004};

So shall the king{H4428} greatly desire{H183}{H8691)} thy beauty{H3308}: for he is thy Lord{H113}; and worship{H7812}{H8690)} thou him.

And the daughter{H1323} of Tyre{H6865} shall be there with a gift{H4503}; even the rich{H6223} among the people{H5971} shall intreat{H2470}{H8762)} thy favour{H6440}.

The king's{H4428} daughter{H1323} is all glorious{H3520} within{H6441}: her clothing{H3830} is of wrought{H4865} gold{H2091}.

She shall be brought{H2986}{H8714)} unto the king{H4428} in raiment of needlework{H7553}: the virgins{H1330} her companions{H7464} that follow{H310} her shall be brought{H935}{H8716)} unto thee.

With gladness{H8057} and rejoicing{H1524} shall they be brought{H2986}{H8714)}: they shall enter{H935}{H8799)} into the king's{H4428} palace{H1964}.

Instead of thy fathers{H1} shall be thy children{H1121}, whom thou mayest make{H7896}{H8799)} princes{H8269} in all the earth{H776}.

I will make thy name{H8034} to be remembered{H2142}{H8686)} in all{H1755} generations{H1755}: therefore shall the people{H5971} praise{H3034}{H8686)} thee for ever{H5769} and ever{H5703}.
