[My heart enditing is]

My heart enditing is
good matter in a song:
I speak the things that I have made
which to the King belong:
My tongue shal be as quick
his honour to endite,
As is the pen of any scribe
that useth fast to write.

2

Thou'rt fairest of all men,

grace in thy lips doth flow:
And therefore blessings evermore
on thee doth God bestow.

3

Thy sword gird on thy thigh,

thou that art most of might:
Appear in dreadful Majestie,
and in thy glory bright.

4

For meeknesse, truth and right,

ride prosperously in state:
And thy right hand shal teach to thee
things terrible and great.

5

Thy shafts shal pierce their hearts

that foes are to the King:
Whereby into subjection
the people thou shalt bring.

6

Thy royal seat, O Lord,

for ever shal remain:
The scepter of thy Kingdom doth
all righteousnesse maintain.

7

Thou loves right, and hates ill:

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

8

Of mirrhe and spices sweet

a smell thy garments had:
Out of thy ivorie palaces,
whereby they made thee glad.

9

And in thy glorious train,

Kings daughters waiting stand:
And thy fair queen, in Ophit gold,
doth stand at thy right hand.

10

O daughter, take good heed,

incline, and give good ear;
Thou must forget thy kindred all,
and fathers house most dear.

11

Thy beautie to the King,

shall then delightful be:
And, do thou humbly worship him,
because thy Lord is he.

12

The daughter then of Tyre

there with a gift shal be,
And all the wealthy of the land
shall make their sute to thee.

13

The daughter of the King

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

14

She cometh to the King

in robes with needle wrought:
The virgins that do follow her
shal unto thee be brought.

15

They shal be brought with joy,

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

16

And, in thy fathers stead,

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

17

I will show forth thy name

to generations all:
Therefore thy people evermore
to thee give praises shall.
