Psalm 45:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Psalm 45

Ode for a Royal Wedding

To the leader: according to Lilies. Of the Korahites. A Maskil. A love song.

¹My heart overflows with a goodly theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.

²You are the most handsome of men;
    grace is poured upon your lips;
    therefore God has blessed you for ever.
³Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
    in your glory and majesty.
