- 0:01Speaker 1: Psalm 45 FOR THE CHIEF MUSICIAN SET TO THE LILIES
- 0:06Speaker 1: A CONTEMPLATION BY THE SONS OF KORA A WEDDING SONG
- 0:11Speaker 1: My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my
- 0:15Speaker 1: verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen
- 0:18Speaker 1: of a skillful writer. You are the most excellent of
- 0:21Speaker 1: the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips. Therefore
- 0:25Speaker 1: God has blessed you forever. Gird your sword on your thigh,
- 0:29Speaker 1: mighty one, your splendor and your majesty. In your majesty
- 0:34Speaker 1: ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Let your right hand display awesome deeds. Your arrows are sharp.
- 0:44Speaker 1: The nations fall under you with arrows in the heart
- 0:47Speaker 1: of the king's enemies. Your throne, God, is forever and ever.
- 0:52Speaker 1: A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
- 0:55Speaker 1: You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness, therefore God, your God,
- 1:00Speaker 1: has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
- 1:04Speaker 1: All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out
- 1:08Speaker 1: of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad. King's
- 1:13Speaker 1: daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand
- 1:16Speaker 1: the queen stands in gold of Ophir. Listen, daughter, consider
- 1:21Speaker 1: and turn your ear. Forget your own people and also
- 1:24Speaker 1: your father's house, so the king will desire your beauty.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Honor him, for he is your lord. The daughter of
- 1:31Speaker 1: Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people
- 1:34Speaker 1: entreat your favor. The princess inside is all glorious. Her
- 1:39Speaker 1: clothing is interwoven with gold. She shall be led to
- 1:43Speaker 1: the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who
- 1:47Speaker 1: follow her, shall be brought to you. With gladness and
- 1:51Speaker 1: rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the
- 1:54Speaker 1: king's palace. Your sons will take the place of your fathers.
- 1:58Speaker 1: You shall make them princes in all the earth. I
- 2:01Speaker 1: will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
