¹ [(0)] For the leader. Set to “Lilies.” By the descendants of Korach. A maskil. A lovesong:

² [(1)] My heart is stirred by a noble theme; I address my verses to the king; My tongue is the pen of an expert scribe.

³ [(2)] You are the most handsome of men; gracious speech flows from your lips. For God has blessed you forever.

⁴ [(3)] Warrior, strap your sword at your thigh; [gird on] your splendor and majesty.

⁵ [(4)] In your majesty, succeed, ride on in the cause of truth, meekness and righteousness. May your right hand teach you awesome things.

⁶ [(5)] Your arrows are sharp. The people fall under you, as they penetrate the hearts of the king’s enemies.

⁷ [(6)] Your throne, God, will last forever and ever; you rule your kingdom with a scepter of equity.

⁸ [(7)] You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions.

⁹ [(8)] Your robes are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes and cassia; from ivory palaces stringed instruments bring you joy.

¹⁰ [(9)] Daughters of kings are among your favorites; at your right stands the queen in gold from Ofir.

¹¹ [(10)] Listen, daughter! Think, pay attention! Forget your own people and your father’s house,

¹² [(11)] and the king will desire your beauty; for he is your lord, so honor him.

¹³ [(12)] Then the daughter of Tzor, the richest of peoples, will court your favor with gifts.

¹⁴ [(13)] Inside [the palace], the king’s daughter looks splendid, attired in checker-work embroidered with gold.

¹⁵ [(14)] In brocade, she will be led to the king, to you, with the virgins in her retinue.

¹⁶ [(15)] They will be led in with gladness and joy, they will enter the king’s palace.

¹⁷ [(16)] You will have sons to succeed your ancestors; you will make them princes in all the land.

¹⁸ [(17)] I will make your name known through all generations; thus the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
