¹ MY heart bubbles forth good news and I will tell my deeds to the king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.² You are fairer than the children of men; grace is poured into your lips; therefore God has blessed you for ever.³ Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.⁴ Your majesty is triumphant; ride upon the word of truth and meekness and righteousness; your law is upheld by reverence for your right hand.⁵ Your arrows are sharp; let them pierce the heart of the kings enemies, and let the people fall under you.

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.⁷ You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.⁸ All your garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia, out of the magnificent temple whereby they have made you glad.⁹ The kings daughter stands in glory, the queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰ Hearken, O my daughter, and consider and incline your ear; forget also your own people and your fathers house.¹¹ So shall the king greatly desire your beauty; for he is your lord; make obeisance to him.¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall worship him; even the rich among the people shall seek your presence with gifts.¹³ All the glory of the kings daughter is from within; her clothing is adorned with fine gold.¹⁴ She shall be brought to the king with gifts; and her virgin companions shall follow in her train.¹⁵ With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter into the kings palace.¹⁶ Instead of your fathers shall be your sons; you shall make them princes in all the earth,¹⁷ I will make your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the people praise you for ever and ever.
