My Heart Is Stirred by a Noble Theme
(1 Kings 3:1–15; 2 Chronicles 1:1–13; Psalms 72:1–20)
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil 99 of the sons of Korah. A love song.
1My heart is stirred by a noble themeas I recite my verses to the king;my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.*
2You are the most handsome of men;grace has anointed your lips,since God has blessed you forever.
3Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior;appear in your majesty and splendor.
4In your splendor ride forth in victoryon behalf of truth and humility and justice;may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes;the nations fall beneath your feet.
6Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever,and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You have loved righteousnessand hated wickedness;therefore God, your God, has anointed youabove your companions with the oil of joy.*
8All your garments are fragrantwith myrrh and aloes and cassia;from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9The daughters of kings are among your honored women;the queen stands at your right hand,adorned with the gold of Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear:Forget your people and your father’s house,
11and the king will desire your beauty;bow to him, for he is your lord.
12The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;men of wealth will seek your favor.
13All glorious is the princess in her chamber;her gown is embroidered with gold.
14In colorful garments she is led to the king;her virgin companions are brought before you.
15They are led in with joy and gladness;they enter the palace of the king.
16Your sons will succeed your fathers;you will make them princes throughout the land.
17I will commemorate your name through all generations;therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
