My heart is moved by a noble theme

(1 Kings 3:1-15; 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; Psalm 72:1-20)

TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG OF LOVES. My heart has stirred a good word, || I am telling my works to the King, || My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.

You have been beautified above the sons of men, || Grace has been poured into Your lips, || Therefore God has blessed You for all time.

Gird Your sword on the thigh, O Mighty [One], || Your splendor and Your majesty!

As for Your majesty—prosper [and] ride! Because of truth, meekness, [and] righteousness, || And Your right hand shows You fearful things.

Your arrows [are] sharp—Peoples fall under You—In the heart of the enemies of the King.

Your throne, O God, [is for] all time and forever, || A scepter of uprightness || [Is] the scepter of Your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hate wickedness, || Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You || With oil of joy above Your companions.

Myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia || [Cover] all Your garments; Out of palaces of ivory, || Stringed instruments have made You glad.

Daughters of kings [are] among Your precious ones, || A queen has stood at Your right hand, || In pure gold of Ophir.

Listen, O daughter, and see, incline your ear, || And forget your people, and your father’s house,

And the King desires your beauty, || Because He [is] your Lord—bow yourself to Him,

And the daughter of Tyre with a present, || The rich of the people appease your face.

All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, || Her clothing [is] with filigrees of gold.

In various colors she is brought to the King; Afterward, virgins, her companions, || Are brought to You.

They are brought with joy and gladness, || They come into the palace of the King.

Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, || You appoint them for princes in all the earth.

I make mention of Your Name in all generations, || Therefore peoples praise You, || For all time and forever!

My heart is moved by a noble theme

(1 Kings 3:1-15; 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; Psalm 72:1-20)

My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.

Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.

In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.

Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.

The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.

The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king’s palace.

Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.

I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
