Lyrics

My heart overflows with a noble theme;
As I address verses to the king;
My tongue's like the pen of a ready scribe.

And you are the most”“ the most handsome of men;
See, grace is poured upon your lips;
Therefore God has blessed you forever.

Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
In your glory and majesty.

In your majesty ride victoriously
For the cause of truth, to defend the right;
Let your right hand teach your awesome deeds.

Your arrows are sharp in your enemies;
Sharp in their heart, peoples fall under you.
Your throne, O God, it endures forever.

Your royal sceptre of equity;
You love righteousness and hate sin.

Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
With oil of gladness beyond”“
Beyond your companions; your robes are all
Fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
The daughters of kings
Are among your ladies of honour; and
At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

O daughter, consider, incline your ear;
Forget your people, your father”s house,
The king will desire your beauty.

Since he is your lord, you shall bow to him;
People of Tyre seek your favour with gifts,
The richest of people with so much wealth.

Princess decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;
Coloured robes, she is led to the king;

Behind her the virgins, her companions, come.
With joy and gladness they're led along
They enter the palace of the king.

This place of our ancestors you, O king,
Shall have sons; you will make them princes.
I'll cause your name to be celebrated
Generations remember, so peoples will praise you forever and ever.

Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
With oil of gladness beyond”“
Beyond your companions; your robes are all
Fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
The daughters of kings
Are among your ladies of honour; and
At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
