| 1 | For the Leader; upon Shoshannim; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. |
| 1a | — |
| 2 | My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I say: 'My work is concerning a king'; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
| 3 | Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured upon thy lips; Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. |
| 4 | Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty. |
| 5 | And in thy majesty prosper, ride on, In behalf of truth and meekness and righteousness; And let thy right hand teach thee tremendous things. |
| 6 | Thine arrows are sharp— The peoples fall under thee— [They sink] into the heart of the king's enemies. |
| 7 | Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom. |
| 8 | Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. |
| 9 | Myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are all thy garments; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad. |
| 10 | Kings' daughters are among thy favourites; At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir. |
| 11 | 'Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; |
| 12 | So shall the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and do homage unto him. . |
| 13 | And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people Shall entreat thy favour with a gift.' |
| 14 | All glorious is the king's daughter within the palace; Her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold. |
| 15 | She shall be led unto the king on richly woven stuff; The virgins her companions in her train being brought unto thee. |
| 16 | They shall be led with gladness and rejoicing; They shall enter into the king's palace. |
| 17 | Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the land. |
| 18 | I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever. |
