1 My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;I address my verses to the king;my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips;therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,in your splendor and majesty!
4 In your majesty ride out victoriouslyfor the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!
5 Your arrows are sharpin the heart of the king’s enemies;the peoples fall under you.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
7 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.Therefore God, your God, has anointed youwith the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
