6 The kingdom that God has given youwill last for ever and ever.You rule over your people with justice;
7 you love what is right and hate what is evil.That is why God, your God, has chosen youand has poured out more happiness on youthan on any other king.
8 The perfume of myrrh and aloes is on your clothes;musicians entertain you in palaces decorated with ivory.
9 Among the ladies of your court are daughters of kings,and on the right of your throne stands the queen,wearing ornaments of finest gold.
10 Bride of the king, listen to what I say —forget your people and your relatives.
11 Your beauty will make the king desire you;he is your master, so you must obey him.
12 The people of Tyre will bring you gifts;rich people will try to win your favour.
