Psalms 45
1 MY heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
To him that excelleth on Shoshannim a song of love to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. Mine heart will vtter forth a good matter: I wil intreat in my workes of the King: my tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Thou art fayrer then the children of men: grace is powred in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie, to wit, thy worship and thy glory,
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
And prosper with thy glory: ride vpon the worde of trueth and of meekenes and of righteousnes: so thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
Thine arrowes are sharpe to pearce the heart of the Kings enemies: therefore the people shall fall vnder thee.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
Thy throne, O God, is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnesse.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Thou louest righteousnes, and hatest wickednesse, because God, euen thy God hath anoynted thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
All thy garments smelll of myrrhe and aloes, and cassia, when thou commest out of the yuorie palaces, where they haue made thee glad.
9 Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Kings daugthers were among thine honorable wiues: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house.
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
So shall the King haue pleasure in thy beautie: for he is thy Lord, and reuerence thou him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
And the daughter of Tyrus with the rich of the people shall doe homage before thy face with presents.
13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of broydred golde.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
She shalbe brought vnto the King in raiment of needle worke: the virgins that follow after her, and her companions shall be brought vnto thee.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
With ioy and gladnes shall they be brought, and shall enter into the Kings palace.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
In steade of thy fathers shall thy children be: thou shalt make them princes through all the earth.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
I will make thy Name to be remembred through all generations: therefore shall the people giue thanks vnto thee world without ende.
