Psalm XLIV, an ode concerning the Beloved One:
" My heart poured forth a good word; I speak of my works to the King: my tongue is the pen of a swiftly writing scribe."
"Comely art Thou in beauty more than the sons of men: grace has been poured forth on Thy lips, wherefore God has blessed Thee forever "
" Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O Mighty One, in Thy comeliness and Thy beauty. And bend Thy bow, and proceed prosperously, and be King, because of truth and meekness and righteousness: and Thy right hand shall guide Thee wonderfully. "
" Thine arrows are sharp, O Mighty One, (under Thee shall peoples fall) sharp in the heart of the enemies of the King"."
" Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of Thy kingdom "
" Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity. Wherefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness more than Thy fellows"
" Myrrh and stacte and cassia exhale from Thy garments, from the ivory palaces, whereby they have made Thee glad, they the daughters of kings in Thine honour "
" Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thine ear: and forget thine own people and thy father's house."
"And the King shall greatly desire thy beauty, for He Himself is Thy Lord, and thou shalt worship Him".
" And Him shall the daughters of Tyre worship with gifts: the Rich among the people shall entreat thy countenance ".
" All the glory of the daughter of the King is within, with gold fringed garments is she arrayed, adorned in varied colours ".
" The virgins that follow after her shall be brought unto the King, those near her shall be brought unto Thee ".
" They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing, they shall be brought into the temple of the King".
" In the stead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shall make them princes over all the Earth "
" I shall comemorate Thy name in every generation and generation".
" Therefore shall peoples give praise unto Thee for ever, and unto the ages of ages".
