The LORD Reigns (93)

My `heart_ overflows_ with a / noble theme.

`I recite my verses / for the king. • My `tongue is like the pen_ of a / skillful writer.

`You are the most excel / lent of men.

`Grace_ has anointed / your~ lips, • `therefore God has blessed_ / you forever.

`Strap your sword_ on your thigh, O / mighty one,

`in your splendor and your / majesty.

`In your majesty ride on vic / toriously • • `on behalf of truth, humility, and / righteousness.

Let `your right hand display_ / awesome deeds.

(Ref)

Your `arrows / are~ sharp.

The `nations fall_ under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s / enemies.

`Your divine_ throne_ is forever / and~ ever.

A `scepter of_ equity_ is the scepter / of your kingdom.

`You have loved_ / righteousness,

and `hated / wickedness.

`Therefore God, your God_, has a / nointed you 

`with the oil of glad_ ness a / bove your fellows.

`All your garments smell like myrrh_, aloes, and_ / cassia.

`Out of iv’ry palaces stringed instruments have / made you glad.

`Kings’_ daughters are among your honorable / wo~ men.

At `your right hand the queen_ stands in gold_ / of Ophir.

(Ref)

`Listen, daughter, look_, and in / cline your ear.

For `get your people, and your / father’s house.

`So the king_ will desire your / beau~ ty,

`honor him, for he_ / is your lord.

The `daughter of_ Tyre comes / with a gift.

The `rich among the people en_ / treat your favor.

The `princess in_ side_ is all / glorious.

Her `clothing is_ interwoven / with~ gold.

`She shall be led to the king_ in em / broidered work.

The `virgins, her companions who_ follow her_, shall be / brought to you.

With `gladness and rejoicing they_ / shall be led.

`They shall enter in_ to the palace / of the king.

(Ref)

Your `sons will take the place_ / of your fathers.

`You shall make them princes in_ / all the earth.

`I will make your name to be remembered in all / generations.

`Therefore the_ peoples shall_ give you thanks forever / and~ ever.
