Parallel
Psalms 45
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
My heart overflows with a noble theme.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.) of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king (note: Or King; here and throughout Psalm 45); my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
You are the most excellent of the sons of men.
You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.
In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.
In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
Your arrows are sharp.
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.
Your throne, God, is forever and ever.
Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy (note: Cited in Hebrews 1:8–9).
All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
Kings’ daughters are amongst your honourable women.
The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.
Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,
So the king will desire your beauty,
and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.
The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
The princess inside is all glorious.
All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.
In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.
With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led.
They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
Your sons will take the place of your fathers.
Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
