Psalm 45 (Mighty Warrior) by Shane Heilman My heart overflows with a pleasing theme I address my verses to the king My tongue is like the pen of a poet You are the fairest of the sons of men Grace is poured upon your lips Therefore God has blessed you forever Take up your sword upon your side Mighty warrior In your splendor and your majesty Ride out victoriously For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness May your power accomplish awesome things May your arrows pierce the enemy May the enemy fall down at your feet May the enemy fall down at your feet Your throne, O God, is forever and ever You reign on high with a righteous scepter You’ve loved righteousness and you have hated wickedness Therefore God, your God has anointed you With the oil of gladness beyond your companions Your robes are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia Strings from ivory palaces fill you with joy Daughters of kings among your honored ladies At your right hands stands your queen adorned in precious gold Hear, O daughter, incline your ear Leave behind the life you knew before And the king will desire your beauty He is your lord, so bow to him The rich will seek your favor The wealthiest of earth will bring you gifts All glorious is the bride within her chamber Her gown embroidered with the finest gold In a gown of beauty she is led to the king With her bridesmaids at her side With rejoicing they are led along As they enter with the throng They come into the palace of the king They come into the palace of the king In place of your fathers will be your children You’ll make them princes in all the earth I’ll make your name remembered in all generations Therefore all the nations They will praise you forever and ever Therefore every nation will praise you forever Your throne, O God, is forever and ever Your throne, O God is forever and ever Your robes are fragrant with myrrth, aloes, and cassia
