A Song Celebrating the King's Marriage.

¹ My heart is moved with a good theme;
I ^(F1)address my ^(F2)verses to the ^(F3)King;
My tongue is the pen of ^(C1)a ready writer.

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

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

⁴ And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth, ^(C1)humility, 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, God, is forever and ever;
^(C2)The scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

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, aloes, and cassia;
From ivory palaces ^(C2)stringed instruments have made You joyful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁵ They will be brought with joy and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King's palace.

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

¹⁷ I will make ^(C1)Your name known among all generations;
Therefore the peoples ^(C2)will praise You forever and ever.
