Psalm 44 — The Holy Bible

For the End, concerning things that shall be changed; to the sons of Korah for understanding; an ode concerning the Beloved One.

My heart overflowed with a good word;

I tell my works to the King;

My tongue is the pen of a swift-writing scribe.

You are more beautiful than the sons of men;

Grace was poured out on Your lips;

Therefore God blessed You forever.

Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One,

In Your splendor and Your beauty.

And stretch Your bow, and grant prosperity, and reign

Because of truth, gentleness, and righteousness,

And Your right hand shall guide You wondrously.

Your arrows are sharp, O Mighty One (The peoples shall fall under You),

In the heart of the King's enemies.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

Your royal scepter is a scepter of uprightness.

You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

Therefore God, Your God, anointed You

With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

Myrrh and stacte and cassia pour forth from Your garments,

From the ivory palaces from which they gladdened You.

There are daughters of kings in Your honor;

The queen stood at Your right hand in apparel interwoven with gold,

And adorned and embroidered with various colors.

Listen, O daughter, behold and incline your ear,

And forget your people and your father's house;

For the King desired your beauty,

For He is your Lord.

And the daughters of Tyre shall worship Him with gifts;

The rich among the people shall entreat your favor.

All her glory as the King's daughter is within,

Adorned and embroidered with golden tassels.

The virgins behind her shall be brought to the King;

Her neighbors shall be brought to You;

They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing;

They shall be led into the temple of the King.

In place of your fathers, sons shall be born to you;

You shall make them rulers over all the earth.

They shall remember your name from generation to generation;

Therefore, peoples shall give thanks to you

Forever and unto ages of ages.
