| 1 | For the director of music. To the tune of"Lilies." Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. A wedding song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer. | |
| 2 | You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever. | |
| 3 | Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty. | |
| 4 | In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds. | |
| 5 | Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet. | |
| 6 | Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. | |
| 7 | You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. | |
| 8 | All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad. | |
| 9 | Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir. | |
| 10 | Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear: Forget your people and your father's house. | |
| 11 | The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor 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 within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold. | |
| 14 | In embroidered garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her and are brought to you. | |
| 15 | They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king. | |
| 16 | Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land. | |
| 17 | I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever. | |
