Psalm 45:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Ode for a Royal Wedding

To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah; a love song.

45 My heart overflows with a goodly theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.

²You are the fairest of the sons of men;
    grace is poured upon your lips;
    therefore God has blessed you for ever.
³Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one,
    in your glory and majesty!
