¹ My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

² You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever.

³ Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty;

⁴ and bend your bow, and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall guide you wonderfully.

⁵ Your weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under you) they are in the heart of the king's enemies.

⁶ Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.

⁷ You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your fellows.

⁸ Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from your garments, and out of the ivory palaces,

⁹ with which kings' daughters have gladdened you for your honor: the queen stood by on your right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, and arrayed in various colors.

¹⁰ Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; forget also your people, and your father's house.

¹¹ Because the king has desired your beauty; for he is your Lord.

¹² And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate your favor.

¹³ All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed as she is in golden fringed garments,

¹⁴ in embroidered clothing: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to you.

¹⁵ They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.

¹⁶ Instead of your fathers children are born to you: you shall make them princes over all the earth.

¹⁷ They shall make mention of your name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to you for ever, even for ever and ever.
