Ps 45:9-15

9With myrrh, aloes, and cassia

your robes are fragrant.

From ivory-paneled palaces^*

stringed instruments bring you joy.

10Daughters of kings are your lovely wives;

a princess arrayed in Ophir’s gold^*

comes to stand at your right hand.

11Listen, my daughter, and understand;

pay me careful heed.

Forget your people and your father’s house,^*

12that the king might desire your beauty.

He is your lord;

13^dhonor him, daughter of Tyre.

Then the richest of the people

will seek your favor with gifts.

14All glorious is the king’s daughter as she enters,^e

her raiment threaded with gold;

15In embroidered apparel she is led to the king.

The maids of her train are presented to the king.
