Psalm 45 — Psalms 45:2–7

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 mighty one,
Thy glory and thy majesty.

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,
Because of truth and meekness and righteousness:
And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Thine arrows are sharp;
The peoples fall under thee;
They are in the heart of the king's enemies.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:
Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee
With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
