Psalm 45

A song for a royal wedding

1This beautiful song makes me feel very happy.

I will sing this special poem to the king.

My voice is ready to sing it very well,

as well as a clever writer can write with a pen.

2You are the most handsome man that there is.

You speak kind words in a beautiful way.

And so God will continue to bless you for ever.

3Brave soldier, wear your sword at your side!

Show what a great king you are!

4Wear your royal clothes

and ride out to win against your enemies!

Win the war on behalf of truth and justice !

Then your strong right hand will do powerful things!

5Your sharp arrows will cut into the heart of your enemies.

Nations will fall down under your feet.

6God, you will continue to rule as king

always and for ever.

Your authority as king will bring justice to your people.

7You love people to do what is right,

and you hate anything that is evil .

So God, your God, has chosen you

to be greater than all your people.

He has put special olive oil on you,

to make you happy.

8All your clothes have the beautiful smell

of myrrh , aloes and cassia.

You hear the music of stringed instruments

that comes from beautiful palaces .

That makes you happy.

9The daughters of kings are among your visitors.

Your royal bride stands at your right side.

She is wearing gold from Ophir.

10Royal daughter, listen to me.

Listen carefully to what I am saying.

Forget your people and your family.

11You are very beautiful

and the king will want to be with you.

He is your master, so respect him.

12Rich people will come from Tyre to give gifts to you.

They will want you to help them.

13The king's bride is in the palace,

and she looks beautiful!

Her dress has gold threads in it.

14Now they lead her to the king in her beautiful clothes.

Her young friends follow after her

to bring her to the king.

15They are very happy as they walk together

and they go into the king's palace.

16You will have sons to become kings,

as your ancestors were kings before you.

You will make them princes

to rule over all the land.

17In future years I will cause people to remember

that you are a great king!

Then people will praise you always and for ever.
