3 Thou art fairer than the children of men: full of grace are thy
lips, because God hath blessed thee for ever.
4 Gird thee with thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most Mighty:
according to thy worship and renown.
5 Good luck have thou with thine honour: ride on, because of the
word of truth, of meekness, and righteousness; and thy right hand
shall teach thee terrible things.
6 Thy arrows are very sharp, and the people shall be subdued unto
thee: even in the midst among the King's enemies.
7 Thy seat, O God, endureth for ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom
is a right sceptre.
8 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: wherefore God,
even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
fellows.
9 All thy garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia: out of the
ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
10 Kings daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right
hand did stand the queen in a vesture of gold, wrought about with
divers colours.
11 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, incline thine ear: forget
also thine own people, and thy father's house.
12 So shall the King have pleasure in thy beauty: for he is thy
Lord God, and worship thou him.
13 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift: like as
the rich also among the people shall make their supplication before
thee.
14 The King's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of
wrought gold.
15 She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needle-work:
the virgins that be her fellows shall bear her company, and shall
be brought unto thee.
16 With joy and gladness shall they be brought: and shall enter
into the King's palace.
17 Instead of thy fathers thou shalt have children: whom thou
mayest make princes in all lands.
18 I will remember thy Name from one generation to another:
therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee, world without end.
PSALM 46. _Deus noster refugium_.
God is our hope and strength: a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved: and though
the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof rage and swell: and though the mountains
shake at the tempest of the same.
4 The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God:
the holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest.
5 God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed:
God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved: but God
hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.
