Psalm 45:2-15
New International Version
2 You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,(A)
since God has blessed you forever.(B)
3 Gird your sword(C) on your side, you mighty one;(D)
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.(E)
4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously(F)
in the cause of truth, humility and justice;(G)
let your right hand(H) achieve awesome deeds.(I)
5 Let your sharp arrows(J) pierce the hearts(K) of the king’s enemies;(L)
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 Your throne, O God,[a] will last for ever and ever;(M)
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You love righteousness(N) and hate wickedness;(O)
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing(P) you with the oil of joy.(Q)
8 All your robes are fragrant(R) with myrrh(S) and aloes(T) and cassia;(U)
from palaces adorned with ivory(V)
the music of the strings(W) makes you glad.
9 Daughters of kings(X) are among your honored women;
at your right hand(Y) is the royal bride(Z) in gold of Ophir.(AA)
10 Listen, daughter,(AB) and pay careful attention:(AC)
Forget your people(AD) and your father’s house.
11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;(AE)
honor(AF) him, for he is your lord.(AG)
12 The city of Tyre(AH) will come with a gift,[b](AI)
people of wealth will seek your favor.
13 All glorious(AJ) is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.(AK)
14 In embroidered garments(AL) she is led to the king;(AM)
her virgin companions(AN) follow her—
those brought to be with her.
15 Led in with joy and gladness,(AO)
they enter the palace of the king.

Psalm 45:2-15
King James Version
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
