Psalms 45

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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.	1 Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.	2 Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.	3 Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea.
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.	4 They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.	5 The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.	6 God is in its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.	7 The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved.
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.	8 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.
9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.	9 Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth,
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;	10 carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield with fire.
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.	11 Be empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon the earth.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.	12 The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter.
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.
