Your Throne, O God, Is Forever

¹ My heart ^(F1)overflows with a good theme;
I ^(F2)address my ^(F3)verses to the ^(F4)King;
My tongue is the pen of ^(C1)a skillful scribe.

² You are fairer than the sons of men;
^(C1)Grace is poured ^(F1)upon Your lips;
Therefore God has ^(C2)blessed You forever.

³ Gird ^(C1)Your sword on Your thigh, O ^(F1)(C2)Mighty One,
In Your splendor and Your majesty!

⁴ And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and ^(C1)meekness and righteousness;
Let Your ^(C2)right hand teach You ^(F1)awesome things.

⁵ Your ^(C1)arrows are sharp;
The ^(C2)peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are ^(C3)in the heart of the King's enemies.

^6 (C1)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of ^(C2)uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁷ You have ^(C1)loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has ^(C2)anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.

⁸ All Your garments are fragrant with ^(C1)myrrh and aloes and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces ^(C2)stringed instruments have made You glad.

⁹ Kings' daughters are among ^(C1)Your noble ladies;
At Your ^(C2)right hand stands the queen in ^(C3)gold from Ophir.

¹⁰ Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
^(C1)Forget your people and your father's house;

¹¹ Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your ^(C1)Lord, ^(C2)bow down to Him.

¹² The daughter of ^(C1)Tyre will come with a present;
The ^(C2)rich among the people will seek your favor.

¹³ The King's daughter is all glorious within her chamber;
Her clothing is ^(C1)interwoven with gold.

¹⁴ She will be ^(C1)led to the King ^(C2)in embroidered work;
The ^(C3)virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.

¹⁵ They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King's palace.

¹⁶ In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall set them up as princes in all the earth.

¹⁷ I will cause ^(C1)Your name to be remembered from generation to every generation;
Therefore the peoples ^(C2)will give You thanks forever and ever.
