1. My heart is overflowing with a good thought;I am speaking my works for the king;my tongue is the pen of a skilled scribe.
2. You are fairer than all the sons of men;favor is poured on your lips;therefore God has blessed you forever.
3. Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,with your splendor and your majesty.
4. In your majesty ride prosperouslybecause of truth and meekness and righteousness;and your right hand will teach you awesome things.
5. Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies;peoples will fall under you.
6. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;the scepter of Your kingdom is an upright scepter.
7. You love righteousness and hate wickedness;therefore God, your God, anointed youwith the oil of gladness above your companions.
8. All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;from the ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad.
9. Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women;at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10. Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;forget your own people, and your father’s house,
