King James Version · 1611
1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.
1My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
9Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
