Psalms45My Heart Is Stirred by a Noble Theme(1 Kings 3:1–15; 2 Chronicles 1:1–13; Psalm 72:1–20)For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.1 My heart is stirred by a noble themeas I recite my verses to the king;my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.2 You are the most handsome of men;grace has anointed your lips;therefore God has blessed you forever.3 Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior;*appear in your majesty and splendor.4 In your splendor ride forth* in victory*on behalf of truth and humility and justice;may your right hand show your awesome deeds.5 Your arrows pierce the hearts* of the king’s foes;the nations fall beneath your feet.6 Your throne,* O God, endures forever and ever,and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.7 You have loved righteousnessand hated wickedness;therefore God, your God, has anointed youabove your companions with the oil* of joy.8 All your garments are fragrantwith myrrh and aloes and cassia;from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.9 The daughters of kings are among your honored women;*the queen stands at your right hand,adorned with the gold of Ophir.10 Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear:Forget your people and your father’s house,11 and the king will desire your beauty;bow* to him, for he is your lord.12 The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;men of wealth will seek your favor.13 All glorious is the princess in her chamber;her gown is embroidered with gold.14 In colorful garments she is led to the king;her virgin companions are brought before you.15 They are led in with joy and gladness;they enter the palace of the king.16 Your sons will succeed your fathers;you will make them princes throughout the land.17 I will commemorate your name through all generations;therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
