International Standard VersionNew American Standard Bible 1995
1My heart is overflowing with good news; I speak what I have composed to the king; my tongue is like the pen of an articulate scribe.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 Adam's descendants; grace has anointed 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.
3Strap your sword to your side, mighty warrior, along with your honor and majesty.3Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One, In Your splendor and Your majesty!
4In your majesty ride forth for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness; and your strong right hand will teach you awesome things.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 sharpened to penetrate the hearts of the king's enemies. People will 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, exists forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter.6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You love justice and hate wickedness. That is why God, even your God, has anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness.7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your fellows.
8All your clothes are scented with myrrh, aloes, and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.8All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
9The king's daughters are among your honorable women; the queen, dressed in gold from Ophir, has taken her place at your right hand."9Kings' daughters are among Your noble ladies; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10Listen, daughter! Consider and pay attention. 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 greatly desire your beauty. Because he is your lord, you should bow in respect before him.11Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.
12The daughter of Tyre will come with a wedding gift; wealthy people will entreat your favor.12The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13In her chamber, the king's daughter is glorious; her clothing is embroidered with gold thread.13The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14In embroidered garments she is presented to the king. Her virgin companions who follow her train will be presented to you.14She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You.
15Filled with joy and gladness, they are presented when 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 take the place of your ancestors, and you will set them up as princes in all the earth.16In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17From generation to generation, I will cause your name to be remembered. Therefore people will thank 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.
