Psalm 45:7

Verse 7 of 17. The 45th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

3Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.

4In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

5Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.

6Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

7You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

8All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

9Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

10Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

11So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
