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 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
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.

1To the chiefe Musician vpon Shoshannim, for the sonnes of Korah, Maschil: a song of loues. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speake of the things which I haue made, touching the King: my tongue is the penne of a ready writer.

2Thou art fairer then the children of men: grace is powred into thy lips: therfore God hath blessed thee for euer.

3Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie: with thy glory and thy maiestie.

4And in thy maiestie ride prosperously, because of trueth and meekenes, and righteousnesse: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5Thine arrowes are sharpe in the heart of the Kings enemies; whereby the people fall vnder thee.

6Thy throne (O God) is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a right scepter.

7Thou louest righteousnesse, and hatest wickednesse: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue thy fellowes.

8All thy garments smell of myrrhe, and aloes, and cassia: out of the Iuorie palaces, whereby they haue made thee glad.

9Kings daughters were among thy honourable women: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in golde of Ophir.

10Hearken (O daughter) and consider, and incline thine eare; forget also thine owne people, and thy fathers house.

11So shall the king greatly desire thy beautie: for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him.

12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift, euen the rich among the people shall intreate thy fauour.

13The kings daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold.

14She shall bee brought vnto the king in raiment of needle worke: the virgins her companions that followe her, shall be brought vnto thee.

15With gladnesse and reioycing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the kings palace.

16In stead of thy fathers shall bee thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

17I will make thy name to bee remembred in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for euer and euer.

1 For the leader; according to “Lilies.” A maskil of the Korahites. A love song.

2 My heart is stirred by a noble theme, as I sing my ode to the king. My tongue is the pen of a nimble scribe.

3 You are the most handsome of men; fair speech has graced your lips, for God has blessed you forever.

4 Gird your sword upon your hip, mighty warrior! In splendor and majesty ride on triumphant!

5 In the cause of truth, meekness, and justice may your right hand show your wondrous deeds.

6 Your arrows are sharp; peoples will cower at your feet; the king’s enemies will lose heart.

7 Your throne, O God, stands forever; your royal scepter is a scepter for justice.

8 You love justice and hate wrongdoing; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellow kings.

9 With myrrh, aloes, and cassia your robes are fragrant. From ivory-paneled palaces stringed instruments bring you joy.

10 Daughters of kings are your lovely wives; a princess arrayed in Ophir’s gold comes to stand at your right hand.

11 Listen, my daughter, and understand; pay me careful heed. Forget your people and your father’s house,

12 that the king might desire your beauty. He is your lord;

13 honor him, daughter of Tyre. Then the richest of the people will seek your favor with gifts.

14 All glorious is the king’s daughter as she enters, her raiment threaded with gold;

15 In embroidered apparel she is led to the king. The maids of her train are presented to the king.

16 They are led in with glad and joyous acclaim; they enter the palace of the king.

17 The throne of your fathers your sons will have; you shall make them princes through all the land.

18 I will make your name renowned through all generations; thus nations shall praise you forever.

This is called “A Song of loves”, and is a song celebrating the wedding of a mighty king in his entire splendor. In verses 10-15, instructions are given to the bride, and  the last two verses are a benediction on the wedding with prediction of progeny.
