1For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

2Thou art more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on thy lips: therefore God has blessed thee for ever.

3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Mighty One, in thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;

4and bend [thy bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.

5Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One, (the nations shall fall under thee) [they are] in the heart of the king's enemies.

6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness.

7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.

8Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia [are exhaled] from thy garments, [and] out of the ivory palaces,

9with which kings' daughters have gladdened thee for thine honour: the queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, [and] arrayed in divers colours.

10Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; forget also thy people, and thy father's house.

11Because the king has desired thy beauty; for he is thy Lord.

12And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts; the rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favour.

13All her glory [is that] of the daughter of the king of Esebon, robed [as she is] in golden fringed garments,

14in embroidered [clothing]: virgins shall be brought to the king after her: her fellows shall be brought to thee.

15They shall be brought with gladness and exultation: they shall be led into the king's temple.

16Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.

17They shall make mention of thy name from generation to generation: therefore shall the nations give thanks to thee for ever, even for ever and ever.
