[1]  My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

[1]  ---

[2]  Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

[2]  ---

[3]  Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

[3]  ---

[4]  And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

[4]  ---

[5]  Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They arein the heart of the king’s enemies.

[5]  ---

[6]  Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

[6]  ---

[7]  Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

[7]  ---

[8]  All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

[8]  ---

[9]  Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

[9]  ---

[10]  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:

[10]  ---

[11]  So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

[11]  ---

[12]  And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

[12]  ---

[13]  The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious: Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

[13]  ---

[14]  She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

[14]  ---

[15]  With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led: They shall enter into the king’s palace.

[15]  ---

[16]  Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

[16]  ---

[17]  I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.
