A song for the king
My heart is stirred by a good matter. I speak of the things I have made about the king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. You're the most beautiful of the people. Grace is poured on your lips. So God has blessed you forever. Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one, with your splendour and your majesty. And in your majesty ride on, for the sake of truth and humility and righteousness. And your right hand will teach you terrible things. Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies. The peoples fall under you. Your throne, God, is forever and ever. You rule your kingdom with righteousness. You've loved righteousness and hated wickedness. So God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions. All your clothes smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia. Out of the ivory palaces the strings have made you glad. Kings' daughters are among your honoured women. The queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
My heart is stirred up with a good thing. I'm telling out what I've made for the king. My tongue is the pen of a quick writer. You're the most beautiful of the sons of men. Grace is poured on your lips. So God has blessed you forever. Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one, with your splendour and your majesty. And in your majesty ride on, for the sake of truth and humility and righteousness. And your right hand will teach you terrible things. Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies. The peoples fall under you. Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The sceptre of your kingdom is a straight sceptre. You've loved righteousness and hated wickedness. So God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your mates. All your clothes smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia. Out of the ivory palaces the strings have made you glad. Kings' daughters are among your honoured women. The queen stands at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 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 most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest 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 the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

The bride brought in
Listen, daughter, and look and turn your ear. And forget your own people and your father's house. Then the king will greatly desire your beauty. Because he is your Lord — bow down to him. And the daughter of Tyre will be there with a gift. The rich among the people will seek your favour. The king's daughter is all glorious inside. Her clothing is woven with gold. She'll be brought to the king in embroidered clothes. The young women following her, her companions, will be brought to you. With gladness and rejoicing they'll be brought. They'll come into the king's palace. Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You'll make them officials in all the earth. I'll make your name remembered through every generation; so the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
