Psalms - Chapter 44

Passage

To the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the Beloved. My heart has uttered a good word: I speak my works to the king: My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writes swiftly. You are beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in your lips; therefore has God blessed you for ever. Gird your sword upon your thigh, O you most mighty. With your comeliness and your beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and your right hand shall conduct you wonderfully. Your arrows are sharp: under you shall people fall, into the hearts of the king's enemies. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness. You have loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows. Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume your garments, from the ivory houses: out of which The daughters of kings have delighted you in your glory. The queen stood on your right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety. Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear: and forget your people and your father's house. And the king shall greatly desire your beauty; for he is the Lord your God, and him they shall adore. And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat your countenance. All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders, Clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbors shall be brought to you. They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king. Instead of your fathers, sons are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth. They shall remember your name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise you for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
