Psalms 45:1-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. Beautiful words stir my heart.I will recite a lovely poem about the king,for my tongue is like the pen of a skillful poet.

2. You are the most handsome of all.Gracious words stream from your lips.God himself has blessed you forever.

3. Put on your sword, O mighty warrior!You are so glorious, so majestic!

4. In your majesty, ride out to victory,defending truth, humility, and justice.Go forth to perform awe-inspiring deeds!

5. Your arrows are sharp, piercing your enemies’ hearts.The nations fall beneath your feet.

6. Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.You rule with a scepter of justice.

7. You love justice and hate evil.Therefore God, your God, has anointed you,pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.
