Praise for the King's Glory and Power

Psalms 45:2-9

Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, Thy glory and thy majesty.

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness: And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thine arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under thee; They arein the heart of the king’s enemies.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
