engLXXup: Psalms 44

=> Chapters

 [1] For the end, for alternate strains by the sons of Korah; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved.

[2] My heart has uttered a good matter:

I declare my works to the king:

My tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

[3] Thou art more beautiful than the sons of men:

Grace has been shed forth on thy lips:

Therefore God has blessed thee forever.

[4] Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O Mighty One,

In thy comeliness, and in thy beauty;

[5] And bend thy bow, and prosper, and reign,

Because of truth and meekness and righteousness;

And thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.

[6] Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One

(The nations shall fall under thee);

They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.

[7] Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever:

The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.

[8] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity:

Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee

With the oil of gladness beyond thy fellows.

[9] Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from thy garments,

And out of the ivory palaces,

[10] With which kings’ daughters have gladdened thee for thine honor:

The queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold,

And arrayed in diverse colors.

[11] Hear, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear;

Forget also thy people, and thy father’s house.

[12] Because the king has desired thy beauty;

For he is thy Lord.

[13] And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with gifts;

The rich of the people of the land shall supplicate thy favor.

[14] All her glory is that of the daughter of the king of Heshbon,

Robed as she is in golden fringed garments, [15] in embroidered clothing:

Virgins shall be brought to the king after her:

Her fellows shall be brought to thee.

[16] They shall be brought with gladness and exultation:

They shall be led into the king’s temple.

[17] Instead of thy fathers children are born to thee:

Thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.

[18] They shall make mention of thy name from generation to generation:

Therefore shall the nations give thanks to thee

Forever, even forever and ever.
