Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; according to <05921> the tune of “Lilies <07799>;” by the Korahites <07141> <01121>, a well-written poem <04905>, a love <03039> song <07892>. My heart <03820> is stirred <07370> by a beautiful <02896> song <01697>. I say <0559>, “I <0589> have composed <04639> this special song <04639> for the king <04428>; my tongue <03956> is as skilled <04106> as the stylus <05842> of an experienced scribe <05608>.”
2You are the most handsome <03302> of all men <0120> <01121>! You speak <03332> in an impressive <02580> and fitting manner <05921> <08193>! For this reason <03651> God <0430> grants you continual <05769> blessings <01288>.
3Strap <02296> your sword <02719> to <05921> your thigh <03409>, O warrior <01368>! Appear in your majestic <01926> splendor <01935>!
4Appear in your majesty <01926> and be victorious <06743>! Ride <07392> forth for the sake <05921> of what <01697> is right <0571>, on behalf of justice <06664>! Then your right hand <03225> will accomplish <03384> mighty acts <03372>!
5Your arrows <02671> are sharp <08150> and penetrate the hearts <03820> of the king’s <04428> enemies <0341>. Nations <05971> fall <05307> at your feet <08478>.
6Your throne <03678>, O God <0430>, is permanent <05703> <05769>. The scepter <07626> of your kingdom <04438> is a scepter <07626> of justice <04334>.
7You love <0157> justice <06664> and hate <08130> evil <07562>. For this reason <03651> <05921> God <0430>, your God <0430> has anointed <04886> you with the oil <08081> of joy <08342>, elevating you above your companions <02270>.
8All <03605> your garments <0899> are perfumed with myrrh <04753>, aloes <0174>, and cassia <07102>. From <04480> the luxurious palaces <08127> <01964> comes the music of stringed <04482> instruments that makes you happy <08055>.

10Listen <08085>, O princess! Observe <07200> and pay attention <0241>! Forget <07911> your homeland <05971> and <01> your family <01004>!
11Then the king <04428> will be attracted <0183> by your beauty <03308>. After all <03588>, he <01931> is your master <0113>! Submit <07812> to him!
12Rich <06223> people <05971> from Tyre <06865> <01323> will seek <02470> your favor <06440> by bringing a gift <04503>.

14In embroidered robes <07553> she is escorted <02986> to the king <04428>. Her attendants <07464>, the maidens of honor <01330> who follow <0310> her, are led <0935> before you.
15They are bubbling <02986> with joy <08057> as they walk in procession and enter <0935> the royal <04428> palace <01964>.
