Return to Index | Henry's Commentary |
Chapter 45 | |
1 | My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
2 | Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. |
3 | Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. |
4 | And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. |
5 | Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. |
6 |
Thy
throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right
sceptre.
|
7 | |
8 | All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. |
9 | Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. |
10 | Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; |
11 | So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. |
12 | And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. |
13 | The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. |
14 | She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. |
15 | With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. |
16 | Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. |
17 | I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. |
