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.
8. All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9. Kings’ daughters are amongst your honourable women.At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
10. Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
11. So the king will desire your beauty,honour him, for he is your lord.
12. The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.The rich amongst the people entreat your favour.
