New Testament

Psalms 45:8-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. All your clothes have the pleasing scent of myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.The music of stringed instruments coming from ivory palaces entertains you.

9. The royal princess is standing in your precious jewels; the queen stands at your right, dressed in the gold of Ophir.

10. Listen, daughter; pay attention, and listen closely!Forget your people and your father’s house.

11. Let the king desire your beauty.Because he is your master, bow down to him now.

12. The city of Tyre, the wealthiest of all,will seek your favor with gifts,

13. with riches of every sortfor the royal princess, dressed in pearls,her robe embroidered with gold.

14. In robes of many colors, she is led to the king.Her attendants, the young women servants following her,are presented to you as well.

15. As they enter the king’s palace,they are led in with celebration and joy.

16. Your sons, great king, will succeed your fathers;you will appoint them as princes throughout the land.

17. I will perpetuate your name from one generation to the nextso the peoples will praise you forever and always.
