1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.
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.
2Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips, since God has blessed you forever.
3Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.
4Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.
6God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
6Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.
8The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
8All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
9The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
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.
10Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,
11Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.
12The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
12The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
