For the choirmaster. To the tune of “ The Lilies. ” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king ; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
| LXX |
You are the most handsome of men ... ; grace has anointed your lips , since ... God has blessed you forever ....
| LXX |
Strap your sword at your side , O mighty warrior ; appear in your majesty and splendor.
| LXX |
In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of tRuth - and humility and justice ; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
| LXX |
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes ; the nations fall beneath your feet.
| LXX |
Your throne , O God , (endures) forever and ever , (and) justice (is) the scepter of Your kingdom.
| LXX |
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness ; therefore ... God , your God , has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.
| LXX |
All your garments (are fragrant) with myrrh and aloes and cassia ; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
| LXX |
The daughters of kings are among your honored women ; the queen stands at your right hand , adorned with the gold of Ophir.
| LXX |
Listen , O daughter ! Consider and incline your ear : Forget your people and your father’s house ,
| LXX |
and the king will desire your beauty ; bow for he is your lord.
| LXX |
The Daughter of Tyre (will come) with a gift ; men of wealth will seek your favor.
| LXX |
All glorious is the princess in her chamber ; her gown (is) embroidered with gold.
| LXX |
In colorful garments she is led to the king ; her virgin companions ... are brought
| LXX |
They are led in with joy and gladness ; they enter the palace of the king.
| LXX |
Your sons will succeed ... your fathers ; you will make them princes throughout the land.
| LXX |
I will commemorate your name through all generations ... ; therefore ... the nations will praise you forever and ever.
