1My heart overflows with a majestic theme; I address my verses to the King. My tongue is the pen of a nimble writer. 2 You are fairer than the sons of men; Your lips are anointed with grace; God, Himself, has blessed You forever.

3In Your majesty, strap Your sword on Your thigh, O most Mighty Warrior. 4And in Your splendor, ride forth victoriously on behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; and Your right hand shall achieve awe-inspiring deeds.

5Your sharp arrows pierce the heart of Your enemies; as the nations fall beneath You. 6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter (staff and emblem of the sovereignty) of Your kingdom is a righteous scepter. 7You love righteousness, and hate wickedness; and so Your God, has anointed You with the oil of joy above all others. 8All Your robes are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; out of the ivory palaces, stringed instruments have honored You. 9Daughters of kings are among Your honored women; at Your right hand stands the queen (royal bride – the church), adorned with gold of Ophir. 10Incline your ear and listen, O daughter, and consider, and; turn your affection from the people of the world (your own people, and family); 11So shall the King greatly desire (value) your beauty (the beauty of the redeemed church’s innocence and devotion); for He is your LORD; worship Him. 12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall seek your favor. 13The king's daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of work in gold. 14She shall be brought unto the King in clothing of needlework; the virgins, her bridesmaids who follow her, shall be brought before You. 15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter the Kings palace.

16Your children shall replace your ancestors, whom You shall make them princes in all the earth. 17I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the people praise You forever and ever.
