Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
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.
8 You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.
9 Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.
10 Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.
11 O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;
12 So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.
