PSAL. XLV.

[1]

My heart brings forth a good lything:

my works that I endite
Concern the King: my tongue's a pen
of one that swift doth write.

2

Thou fairer art then sons of men:

into thy lips is store
Of grace infus'd: God therefore thee
hath blest for evermore.

3

O thou that art the mighty One,

thy sword gird on thy thigh:
Ev'n with thy glory excellent,
and with thy Majestie.

4

For meeknes, truth and righteousnes,

in state ride prospero uslie:
And thy right hand shall thee instruct
in things that fearfull be.

5

Thine arrows sharply pierce the hearts

of th'enemies of the King;
And under thy subjection
the people down do bring.

6

For ever and for ever is,

O God, thy throne of might:


The scepter of thy Kingdom is
a scepter that is right.

7

Thou lovest right, and hatest ill;

for God, thy God most hie
Above thy fellows hath, with th'oyl
of joy, anointed thee.

8

Of aloes, myrrhe, and cassia,

a smel thy garments had;
Out of thy ivorie palaces,
whereby they made thee glad.

9

Among thy women honourable

Kings daughters were at hand:
Upon thy right hand did the queen,
in gold of Ophir stand.

10

O daughter, hearken and regard,

and do thine ear incline;
Likewise forget thy fathers house,
and people that are thine.

11

Then of the King desir'd shal be

thy beautie vehemently;
Because he is thy Lord, do thou
him worship reverently.

12

The daughter there of Tyre shal, be

with gifts and offrings great
Those of the people that are rich
thy favour shal intreat.

13

Behold the daughter of the King

all glorious is within;
And, with embroyderies of gold,
her garments wrought have bin.

14

She shal be brought unto the King,

in robes with needle wrought;
Her fellow-vingins following,
shal unto thee be brought.

15

They shall be brought with gladnesse great,

and mirth on every side,
Into the palace of the King,
and there they shal abide.

16

Instead of those thy fathers dear,

thy children thou mayest take,
And in all places of the earth,
them noble Princes make.

17

Thy Name remembred I wil make

through ages all, to be;
The people therefore evermore
shal praises give to thee.
