The Psalms Project - Psalm 45 (Mighty Warrior)

My heart overflows with a pleasing theme I address my verses to the king
My tongue is like the pen of a poet
You are the fairest of the sons of men Grace is poured upon your lips Therefore God has blessed you forever Take up your sword upon your side Mighty warrior
In your splendor and your majesty
Ride out victoriously
For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness May your power accomplish awesome things
May your arrows pierce the enemy
May the enemy fall down at your feet
May the enemy fall down at your feet
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever
You reign on high with a righteous scepter
You’ve loved righteousness and you have hated wickedness Therefore God, your God has anointed you
With the oil of gladness beyond your companions
Your robes are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia
Strings from ivory palaces fill you with joy
Daughters of kings among your honored ladies
At your right hands stands your queen adorned in precious gold
Hear, O daughter, incline your ear Leave behind the life you knew before

And the king will desire your beauty
He is your lord, so bow to him
The rich will seek your favor
The wealthiest of earth will bring you gifts
All glorious is the bride within her chamber
Her gown embroidered with the finest gold In a gown of beauty she is led to the king With her bridesmaids at her side
With rejoicing they are led along
As they enter with the throng
They come into the palace of the king They come into the palace of the king
In place of your fathers will be your children
You’ll make them princes in all the earth
I’ll make your name remembered in all generations
Therefore all the nations
They will praise you forever and ever Therefore every nation will praise you forever
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever
Your throne, O God is forever and ever
Your robes are fragrant with myrrth, aloes, and cassia
