Psalm 45:3-9 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,in your splendor and majesty!

4. In your majesty ride out victoriouslyfor the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!

5. Your arrows are sharpin the heart of the king’s enemies;the peoples fall under you.

6. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;

7. you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.Therefore God, your God, has anointed youwith 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.
