^1aTo the choirmaster on Shoshannim.↑

For the sons of Korah, an Instructive Psalm. A song of love.

^1bMy heart is bubbling up with a good thing,

I speak of my works for the king;

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

²You are very much more comely than the sons of Adam;

Grace is poured out on your lips,

Because God has blessed you age-abidingly.

³Gird your sword onto your thigh, O warrior,

For your splendour and your majesty.

⁴And as for your majesty,

Prosper and ride

On the principle of truth and righteous meekness,

And your right hand will show you awesome things.

⁵Your arrows are sharpened;

Various peoples will fall under you

– Those at the heart of the king's enemies.

⁸All your clothes have been scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,

From ivory palaces,

Because they gladden you.

⁹The daughters of kings are among your maids-of-honour,

And a queen stands on your right in gold from Ophir.

¹⁰Listen, O daughter, and look,

And incline your ear,

And forget your people,

And your father's house,

¹¹While the king longs for your beauty,

For he is your Lord,

So worship him.

¹²And, O daughter of Tyre,

The rich of the people will seek your favour with a gift.

¹³The king's daughter is entirely glorious indoors,

And her clothing is of intricately woven gold.

¹⁴She will be brought to the king in embroidery;

Her virgin attendants following are brought to you.

¹⁵They will be brought with gladness and rejoicing,

They will come to the king's palace.

¹⁶In the place of your fathers

Will be your sons.

You will appoint them as princes

Over all the land.

¹⁷I will bring your name to remembrance

From every generation to generation,

Which is why the various peoples will praise you,

Age-abidingly and in perpetuity.
