Praise for the King's Glory and Power
1
My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
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 mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.
4
And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5
Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They arein the heart of the king’s enemies.
6
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
7
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated 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 ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.
9
Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
