A Song for the King’s Marriage |
| To the chief Musician upon Shoshan’nim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. |
|
| 1 |
My heart is inditing a good matter:
| | |
I speak of the things which I have made touching the King: |
|
my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
|
|
| 2 |
Thou art fairer than the children of men:
| | |
grace is poured into thy lips: |
|
therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. |
|
|
| 3 |
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most Mighty,
| | |
with thy glory and thy majesty. |
|
|
| 4 |
And in thy majesty ride prosperously,
| | |
because of truth and meekness and righteousness; |
|
and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. |
|
|
| 5 |
Thine arrows are sharp
| | |
in the heart of the King’s enemies; |
|
whereby the people fall under thee. |
|
|
| 6 |
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
| | |
the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. |
|
|
| 7 |
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness:
| | |
therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee |
|
with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Heb. 1.8, 9 |
|
|
| 8 |
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia,
| | |
out of the ivory palaces, |
|
whereby they have made thee glad. |
|
|
| 9 |
Kings’ daughters were among thy honorable women:
| | |
upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. |
|
|
| 10 |
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
| | |
forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; |
|
|
| 11 |
so shall the King greatly desire thy beauty:
| | |
for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. |
|
|
| 12 |
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;
| | |
even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor. |
|
|
| 13 |
The King’s daughter is all glorious within:
| | |
her clothing is of wrought gold. |
|
|
| 14 |
She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework:
| | |
the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. |
|
|
| 15 |
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought:
| | |
they shall enter into the King’s palace. |
|
|
| 16 |
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,
| | |
whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. |
|
|
| 17 |
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:
| | |
therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. |
