Psalms 45

Berean Standard Bible

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

1My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.

2You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips, since God has blessed you forever.

2Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.

3Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.

3Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.

4In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

4Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.

5Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.

5The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.

6Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

6God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

7Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

8All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.

8The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

9The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.

9Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,

10Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,

10Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.

11and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.

11Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

12The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.

12The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

13All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
