- 0:01Speaker 1: Psalm forty five for the Chief Musician, set to the Lilies,
- 0:06Speaker 1: a contemplation by the sons of Corah, 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 as 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: that 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 mrrh 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 o fear. Listen, daughter,
- 1:21Speaker 1: consider and turn your ear. Forget your own people and
- 1:24Speaker 1: also your father's house. So the king will desire your beauty.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Honor him, for he is your lord. The daughter of
- 1:32Speaker 1: Tire comes with a gift. The rich among the people
- 1:35Speaker 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 rejoicing.
- 1:51Speaker 1: They shall be led, they shall enter into the King's palace.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Your sons will take the place of your father's. You
- 1:58Speaker 1: shall make them princes, and all the earth I will
- 2:01Speaker 1: make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore
- 2:05Speaker 1: the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
