Christian Standard BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1My heart is moved by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.1For the choir director; according to the Shoshannim. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love. My heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2You are the most handsome of men; grace flows from your lips. Therefore God has blessed you forever.2You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.
3Mighty warrior, strap your sword at your side. In your majesty and splendor--3Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!
4in your splendor ride triumphantly in the cause of truth, humility, and justice. May your right hand show your awe-inspiring acts.4And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.
5Your sharpened arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you.5Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King's enemies.
6Your throne, God, is forever and ever; the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.
8Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume all your garments; from ivory palaces harps bring you joy.8All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
9Kings' daughters are among your honored women; the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir, stands at your right hand.9Kings' daughters are among Your noble ladies; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10Listen, daughter, pay attention and consider: forget your people and your father's house,10Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father's house;
11and the king will desire your beauty. Bow down to him, for he is your lord.11Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.
12The daughter of Tyre, the wealthy people, will seek your favor with gifts.12The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13In her chamber, the royal daughter is all glorious, her clothing embroidered with gold.13The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14In colorful garments she is led to the king; after her, the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.14She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You.
15They are led in with gladness and rejoicing; they enter the king's palace.15They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing; They will enter into the King's palace.
16Your sons will succeed your ancestors; you will make them princes throughout the land.16In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.17I will cause Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
