A Royal Wedding Song[a]

45 Beautiful words fill my mind,
    as I compose this song for the king.
Like the pen of a good writer
    my tongue is ready with a poem.

2 You are the most handsome of men;
    you are an eloquent speaker.
    God has always blessed you.
3 Buckle on your sword, mighty king;
    you are glorious and majestic.
