1 For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Lilies." A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song.
2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men.
3 Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.
5 Your arrows are sharp.
6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever.
7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.
8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
9 Kings’ daughters are amongst your honourable women.
10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.
11 So the king will desire your beauty,
12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.
13 The princess inside is all glorious.
14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.
15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led.
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers.
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
