View Full Chapter

2You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.

3Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.

4In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.

5Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.

6Your throne, O God, Here the king is addressed as God’s representative. will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

7You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.

8All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.

9Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.
