1 To the chiefe musition (on the instrument) Sosannim (to be song of the) children of Corach. A song of loue, geuyng wise instructions. My heart is endityng of a good matter: I wyll dedicate my workes vnto the king, my tongue is as the penne of a redy writer. VP
2 Thou art fayrer then the children of men, full of grace are thy lippes: because the Lorde hath blessed thee for euer. VP
3 Girde thee with thy sworde vpon thy thygh O thou most mightie: that is with thy glorie and thy maiestie. VP
4 Prosper thou with thy maiestie, ryde on the worde of trueth and of affliction for ryghteousnesse sake: and thy ryght hande shall teache thee terrible thynges. VP
5 Thyne arrowes are sharpe: a people the kynges enemies shall submit in heart them selues vnto thee. VP
6 Thy throne O Lorde endureth for euer and euer: the scepter of ryghteousnesse is the scepter of thy kyngdome. VP
7 Thou hast loued iustice and hated vngodlynesse: wherfore the Lorde euen thy Lorde hath annoynted thee with the oyle of gladnesse more then thy felowes. VP
8 All thy garmentes smell of Myrre, Aloes, and Cassia, out of the iuorie palaces: wherby they haue made thee glad. VP
9 Kynges daughters are amongst thy honourable women: vpon thy ryght hande standeth the queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir. VP
10 Hearken O daughter and consider, encline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house. VP
11 So shall the kyng haue pleasure in thy beautie: for he is thy Lorde, and worship thou hym. VP
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall come with a present: the riche among the people shall make their earnest prayer before thee. VP
13 The kynges daughter is all glorious within: her clothyng is of wrought golde. VP
14 She shalbe brought vnto the kyng in rayment of needle worke: the virgins that folowe her and her company shalbe brought vnto thee. VP
15 With ioy and gladnesse shall they be brought: and shal enter into the kinges palace. VP
16 In steade of thy fathers, thou shalt haue children: whom thou mayst make princes in all landes. VP
17 I wyll remember thy name from one generation vnto another: therfore shall the people prayse thee worlde without ende. VP
