¹ My heart overflows with a goodly theme;
    I address my verses to the king;
    my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.

² You are the most handsome of men;
    grace is poured upon your lips;
    therefore God has blessed you forever.
³ Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
    in your glory and majesty.

⁴ In your majesty ride on victoriously
    for the cause of truth and to defend^[a] the right;
    let your right hand teach you dread deeds.
⁵ Your arrows are sharp
    in the heart of the king's enemies;
    the peoples fall under you.

⁶ Your throne, O God,^[b] endures forever and ever.
    Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity;
⁷     you love righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
    with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
⁸     your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
⁹     daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
    at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;
    forget your people and your father's house,
¹¹     and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your lord, bow to him;
¹²     the people^[c] of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts,
    the richest of the people ¹³ with all kinds of wealth.

The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;^[d]
14     in many-colored robes she is led to the king;
    behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.
¹⁵ With joy and gladness they are led along
    as they enter the palace of the king.

¹⁶ In the place of ancestors you, O king,^[e] shall have sons;
    you will make them princes in all the earth.
¹⁷ I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations;
    therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
