1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
2 My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
3 You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.
4 Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.
5 And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.
6 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.
7 Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.
