1 My heart is stirred by a beautiful song.I say, “I have composed this special song for the king;my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe.”
2 You are the most handsome of all men!You speak in an impressive and fitting manner!For this reason God grants you continual blessings.
3 Strap your sword to your thigh, O warrior!Appear in your majestic splendor!
4 Appear in your majesty and be victorious!Ride forth for the sake of what is right,on behalf of justice!Then your right hand will accomplish mighty acts!
5 Your arrows are sharpand penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies.Nations fall at your feet.
6 Your throne, O God, is permanent.The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
7 You love justice and hate evil.For this reason God, your God has anointed youwith the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.
