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 arrows are sharp;
         The peoples fall under You;
         Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.

6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
         A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
         Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
         With the oil of joy above Your fellows.

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 noble ladies;
         At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

10Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
         Forget your people and your father’s house;

11Then the King will desire your beauty.
         Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.

12The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
         The rich among the people will seek your favor.

13The King’s daughter is all glorious within;
         Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

14She will be led to the King in embroidered work;
         The virgins, her companions who follow her,
         Will be brought to You.

15They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
         They will enter into the King’s palace.

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 in all generations;
         Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
