1 A marvelous word has stirred my heartas I mention my works to the king.My tongue is the pen of a skillful scribe.
2 You are the most handsome of men;grace has been poured out on your lips.No wonder God has blessed you forever!
3 Strap on your sword, great warrior,with your glory and grandeur.
4 Go and succeed in your grandeur!Ride out on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness!Let your strong hand perform awesome deeds.
5 Let the peoples fall beneath you.May your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies.
6 Your divine throne is eternal and everlasting.Your royal scepter is a scepter of justice.
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness.No wonder God, your God, has anointed youwith the oil of joy more than all your companions!
