1. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2. Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
|
4. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
|
7. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
|
8. All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
|
9. Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
|
10. Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
|
12. And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
|
14. She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
|
17. I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
