1 My heart overflows with a noble theme.I recite my verses for the king.My tongue is like the pen of a skilful writer.
2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men.Grace has anointed your lips,therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one:your splendour and your majesty.
4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5 Your arrows are sharp.The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.
6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever.A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of your kingdom.
7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
