Psalms 45

21 Century King James (21KJV)

Switch Version:

¹ My heart is composing a goodly matter; I speak of the verses which I have made concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

² Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured into Thy lips; therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever.

³ Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O most Mighty, with Thy glory and Thy majesty.

⁴ And in Thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Thy right hand shall teach Thee fearsome things.

⁵ Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies, whereby the people fall under Thee.

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the scepter of Thy Kingdom is a righteous scepter.

⁷ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness; therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.

⁸ All Thy garments smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces whereby they have made Thee glad.

⁹ Kings' daughters were among Thy honorable women; at Thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.

¹⁰ Hearken, O daughter, and consider and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people and thy father's house.

¹¹ So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty, for He is thy Lord; worship thou Him.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

¹³ The King's daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold.

¹⁴ She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework; the virgins, her companions that follow her, shall be brought unto Thee.

¹⁵ With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter into the King's palace.

¹⁶ Instead of Thy fathers shall be Thy children, whom Thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

¹⁷ I will make Thy name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the people praise Thee for ever and ever.
