Psalms 45

DOUAI-RHEIMS	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the Beloved.	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 My heart hath uttered a good word I speak my works to the king; My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly.	2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee for ever	3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.	4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.	5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king's enemies.	6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.	7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.	8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which	9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.	10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
11 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy 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 king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.	12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
13 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.	13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders,	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 clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.	15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.	16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over 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.
18 They shall remember thy name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
