1 My heart is stirring with a good word; I speak my works for the king; my tongue is the pen of a ready scribe.
2 You are fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured out on your lips; so God has blessed you forever.
3 Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, your splendor and your majesty.
4 In your majesty prosper and ride on, for the cause of truth and humility and righteousness, and let your right hand teach you awesome things.
5 Your arrows are sharpened; peoples fall beneath you; they are in the heart of the king's enemies.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; that is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy beyond your companions.
8 Myrrh and aloes and cassia are all your robes; from palaces of ivory stringed instruments have made you glad.
9 Daughters of kings are among your precious ones; the queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
10 Hear, daughter, and see, and turn your ear; forget your people and the house of your father,
11 and the king will long for your beauty; for he is your lord, so bow to him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the richest of the people, will seek your favor.
13 The king's daughter is all splendor within; her robe is of gold-woven work.
14 In colorful embroidery she is brought to the king; virgins after her, her companions, are brought to you.
15 They are brought with joy and gladness; they come into the king's palace.
16 Instead of your fathers will be your sons; you will set them as princes in all the land.
17 I will make your name remembered in every generation; so peoples will thank you forever and ever.
