1 My heart is moved with a good theme;
I ^{▼▼Lit am saying}address my ^{▼▼Lit works}verses to the ^{▼▼Prob. refers to a Davidic king as a type of Christ}King;
My tongue is the pen of ^fa ready writer.
2 You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind;
^gGrace is poured ^{▼▼Or through}upon Your lips;
Therefore God has ⁱblessed You forever.

3 Strap ^jYour sword on Your thigh, ^{▼▼Or Warrior
,} ^lMighty One,
In Your splendor and majesty!
4 And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth, ^mhumility, and righteousness;
Let Your ⁿright hand teach You ^{▼▼Or fearful}awesome things.
5 Your ^parrows are sharp;
The ^qpeoples fall under You;
Your arrows are ^rin the heart of the King’s enemies.

6 ^sYour throne, God, is forever and ever;
^tThe scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
7 You have ^uloved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has ^vanointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.
8 All Your garments are fragrant with ^wmyrrh, aloes, and cassia;
From ivory palaces ^xstringed instruments have made You joyful.
9 Kings’ daughters are among ^yYour noble women;
At Your ^zright hand stands the queen in ^aagold from Ophir.

10 Listen, daughter, look and incline your ear:
^abForget your people and your father’s house;
11 Then the King will crave your beauty.
Because He is your ^acLord, ^adbow down to Him.
12 The daughter of ^aeTyre will come with a gift;
The ^afwealthy among the people will seek your favor.

13 The King’s daughter is all glorious within;
Her clothing is ^aginterwoven with gold.
14 She will be ^ahbrought to the King ^aiin colorful garments;
The ^ajvirgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15 They will be brought with joy and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King’s palace.

16 In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17 I will make ^akYour name known among all generations;
Therefore the peoples ^alwill praise You forever and ever.
