For the choir director; according to the ^[a]Shoshannim. A ^[b]Maskil of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.

My heart ^[c]overflows with a good theme; I ^[d]address my ^[e]verses to the ^[f]King; My tongue is the pen of ^(a)a ready writer.

You are fairer than the sons of men; ^(b)Grace is poured ^[g]upon Your lips; Therefore God has ^(c)blessed You forever.

Gird ^(d)Your sword on Your thigh, O ^[h](e)Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!

And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and ^(f)meekness and righteousness; Let Your ^(g)right hand teach You ^[i]awesome things.

Your ^(h)arrows are sharp; The ⁽ⁱ⁾peoples fall under You; Your arrows are ^(j)in the heart of the King's enemies.

^(k)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of ^(l)uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You have ^(m)loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has ⁽ⁿ⁾anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.

All Your garments are fragrant with ^(o)myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces ^(p)stringed instruments have made You glad.

Kings' daughters are among ^(q)Your noble ladies; At Your ^(r)right hand stands the queen in ^(s)gold from Ophir.

Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: ^(t)Forget your people and your father's house;

Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your ^(u)Lord, ^(v)bow down to Him.

The daughter of ^(w)Tyre will come with a gift; The ^(x)rich among the people will seek your favor.

The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is ^(y)interwoven with gold.

She will be ^(z)led to the King ^(aa)in embroidered work; The ^(ab)virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You.

They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing; They will enter into the King's palace.

In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.

I will cause ^(ac)Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the peoples ^(ad)will give You thanks forever and ever.
