Psalms 45:3-9

3 aGird your bsword on your thigh, O cmighty one,
in dyour splendor and majesty!
 4 In your majesty eride out victoriously
for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
let your right hand teach you fawesome deeds!
 5Your arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king’s enemies;
the peoples fall under you.
 6 gYour throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The hscepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
 7 iyou have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore jGod, your God, has kanointed you
with the oil of lgladness mbeyond your companions;
 8your robes are all fragrant with nmyrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces ostringed instruments make you glad;
 9daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
pat your right hand stands the queen in qgold of Ophir.
