Songs 45/A royal wedding song

Psa 45:1–17

45 For the musical director: a song[fn] by Korah’s descendants. A love song to be sung to the tune of ‘Lilies’.

45My heart is stirred with an excellent message.

I’ll read aloud the words I’ve composed about the king.

My tongue is like the pen of a skilled secretary.

2You are more perfect to look at than the children of humanity.

Your lips move with grace,

so we know that God has blessed you forever.

3Strap your sword to your side, mighty warrior,

in your splendour and majesty.

4Ride on triumphantly in your majesty because of trustworthiness, humility, and innocence.

Your powerful actions display your awesome abilities.

5Your arrows are sharp—the peoples fall under you.

Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies.

6Your reign, God, will continue forever.

Your kingdom is renowned for its true justice.

7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness,

therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.

8All your clothes smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia.

Stringed instruments playing from of ivory palaces have made you glad.

9Kings’ daughters are among your honourable women.

The queen stands on your right, clothed in gold from Ofir.

10Listen, daughter, turn this way and take notice.

Forget your own people and your father’s house.

11Just like that, the king will desire your beauty.

He’s your mastersubmit to him.

12The princess from Tsor (Tyre) will be there with a gift.

The rich people will beg for your favour.

13The princess in the palace is just splendid

her clothing is embroidered with gold thread.

14She will be led to the king in an embroidered dress.

The virgins, her companions who’ll follow her, will be brought to him.

15They’ll be led by gladness and celebration.

They’ll enter the king’s palace.

16Your children will be in the positions that your ancestors used to hold

you’ll make them princes across the whole country.

17I’ll ensure that your name will be remembered by all generations,

therefore the peoples will give you thanks forever.


45:0 In Hebrew, ‘maskil’ is perhaps the name of this class of song.
