1.    For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
 
2.    My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
 
3.    Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into 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 ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
 
6.    Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They are in the heart of the king`s enemies.
 
7.    Thy throne, O 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.    All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and       cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
 
10.    Kings` daughters are among thy honorable women: 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 will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.
 
13.    And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.
 
14.    The king`s daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.
 
15.    She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.
 
16.    With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king`s palace.
 
17.    Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.
 
18.    I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
