Psalmes 45

P S A L. XLV.

1 The maiestie and grace of Christs kingdome. 10 The duetie of the Church, and the benefits thereof.

¶ [fn]To the chiefe Musician vpon Shoshannim, for the sonnes of Korah, Maschil: a song of loues.

XLV ¶ My heart is inditing a good matter: I speake of the things which I haue made, touching the King: my tongue is the penne of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer then the children of men: grace is powred into thy lips: therfore God hath blessed thee for euer. 3 Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie: with thy glory and thy maiestie. 4 [fn]And in thy maiestie ride prosperously, because of trueth and meekenes, and righteousnesse: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrowes are sharpe in the heart of the Kings enemies; whereby the people fall vnder thee. 6 [ref]Thy throne (O God) is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a right scepter. 7 Thou louest righteousnesse, and hatest wickednesse: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue thy fellowes. 8 All thy garments smell of myrrhe, and aloes, and cassia: out of the Iuorie palaces, whereby they haue made thee glad. 9 Kings daughters were among thy honourable women: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in golde of Ophir. 10 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 beautie: for he is thy LORD, and worship thou him. 12 [fn]And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift, euen the rich among the people shall intreate thy fauour. 13 The kings daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold. 14 She shall bee brought vnto the king in raiment of needle worke: the virgins her companions that followe her, shall be brought vnto thee. 15 With gladnesse and reioycing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the kings palace. 16 In stead of thy fathers shall bee thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 17 I will make thy name to bee remembred in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for euer and euer.
