¹My heart bubbles forth good news and I will tell my deeds to the king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

²You are fairer than the sons of men; grace is poured into your lips; therefore god has blessed you forever.
³Gird your sword on your thigh, most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.

⁴Your majesty is triumphant; ride on the word of truth and meekness and righteousness; your law is upheld by reverence for your right hand.
⁵Your arrows are sharp; let them pierce the heart of the king's enemies, and let the people fall under you.

⁶Your throne, god, is forever and ever; the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter.
⁷You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore god, your god, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
⁸All your garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia, out of the magnificent house by which they have made you glad.
⁹The king's daughter stands in glory, the queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰Listen, my daughter, and consider and incline your ear; also forget your own people and your father's house.
¹¹So the king will greatly desire your beauty; for he is your master; give homage to him.
¹²And the daughter of Tyre will worship him; even the rich among the people will seek your presence with gifts.

¹³All the glory of the king's daughter is from inside; her clothing is adorned with fine gold.
¹⁴She will be brought to the king with gifts; and her virgin companions will follow in her train.
¹⁵With gladness and rejoicing they will be brought; they will enter into the king's house.

¹⁶Instead of your fathers, will be your sons; you will make them princes in all the land,
¹⁷I will make your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore the people will praise you forever and ever.
