To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil [a.k.a. Maskil,] A Song of [Love.] |
Psalm 45:1-17 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
My heart is [putting down in writing] [what is] a [virtuous] matter. My tongue is the pen of a [skillful] writer. I speak of things [I have expressed about] the king. You are [more fair] than the children of men. Therefore, God has blessed you forever & grace [has] poured into your lips. |
[Strap up] your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory & your majesty. In your majesty, ride & [prosper], because of: truth, [humility] & righteousness. |
And your right hand shall teach you terrible things. Your arrows are sharp [within] the heart of the king's enemies. [By this,] the people fall under you. |
* O God, Your throne is forever & ever. The scepter of Your kingdom is a [righteous] scepter. [Psalm 93:2 Your throne [was] established of old. You are from everlasting.] |
You love righteousness & hate wickedness. Therefore, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your [companions.] All your [clothing smells] of: myrrh, aloes & cassia, out of the ivory palaces, [which] have made you glad. |
King's daughters were among your honorable women. [At] your right hand, the queen in [the] gold of Ophir [stood.] [Pay attention] & [lean] your ear [to hear,] O daughter & consider [forgetting] your own people & your father's house. |
[Ruth 1:16 And Ruth said, [Don't ask] me not to leave you, or to return from following after you. For [where] you [go,] I will go. And where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people & your God, [shall be] my God.] |
So, the king shall greatly desire your beauty. For [God] is your Lord & you worship Him. And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift, even the rich people shall [seek] your favor. |
The king's daughter is glorious within & her clothing is of [fashioned] gold. She shall be brought to the king in [clothing] of needlework. Her companions, the virgins, [who] follow her, shall be brought to you. |
They shall be brought with gladness & rejoicing & they shall enter into the king's palace. Instead of your [forefathers,] shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth. |
I will make your name remembered [through] all generations. Therefore, the people shall praise you forever & ever. |
