¹ My heart is moved with a good word;
I recite my compositions^[b] to the king.
My tongue is the pen of a skilled scribe.
² You are the most handsome of the sons of humankind;
grace is poured out on your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
³ Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
in your splendor and your majesty.
⁴ And in your majesty ride victoriously,^[c]
because of truth and humility and righteousness.
And let your right hand teach you awesome deeds.
⁵ Your arrows are sharp;
peoples fall under you
in the midst of the king's enemies.
⁶ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
A scepter of uprightness is
the scepter of your kingdom.
⁷ You love righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
from among your companions with festive oil.
⁸ All your robes are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From palaces of ivory stringed instruments gladden you.
⁹ Kings' daughters are among your noble ladies.
The queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, and discern^[d] and incline your ear,
and forget your people and your father's house.
¹¹ Let the king desire your beauty.^[e]
Because he is your lord, therefore^[f] bow down to him.
¹² Even the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift.
The rich from among people will seek your favor.^[g]
13 The king's daughter is all glorious within;^[h]
her garment is of gold embroidered cloth.
¹⁴ She is brought to the king in colorful garments.
The young women behind her, her attendants,
are being brought to you.
¹⁵ They are led with joy and gladness.
They enter the palace of the king.
¹⁶ In place of your^[i] fathers will be your sons.
You will make them princes in all the land.^[j]
17 I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
therefore peoples will praise you forever and ever.
