Psalm 45:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ You love ·right [righteousness] and hate ·evil [wickedness],
    so God has ·chosen [anointed] you from among your ·friends [companions];
    ·he has set you apart with much joy [^L…with the oil of joy; ^Ckings were anointed with oil at their coronation; 1 Sam. 10:1; 16:13; Heb. 1:8–9].
⁸ Your clothes smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
    From palaces of ivory
    ·music [stringed instruments] comes to make you happy.
⁹ Kings’ daughters are among your honored women.
    Your ·bride [queen; consort] stands at your right side
wearing gold from Ophir [^Cperhaps a region in southern Arabia].
