PSALM XLV.

1 My heart is inditing. algood... matter ||

I speak the things which I. have| made...touching the King;

My tongue. is the pen ||

Of. already writer.

2 Thou art fairer than. the children of men ||

Grace is poured into thy lips:
therefore God. hath bless-ed|
thee for ever.

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, . |
O most mighty ||

With thy glory and thy |
majesty.

3 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously because of truth. and meekness and righteousness

Therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil. of gladness above thy | fellows.

5 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out. of the ivory palaces || Whereby they have made thee| glad. Kings' daughters are among. thy honourable | women || Upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of | Ophir.

6 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and in-cline thine ear ||

Forget also thine own people. | and thy father's house; So shall the King greatly. de-sire thy beauty ||

For He is thy Lord; and worship thou... | Him.

7 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there.[with a gift ||

Even the rich among the people

shall en-treat thy | favour.

1 God. is our refuge and strength || A very present | help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear,. though the earth be re-moved || And though the mountains be carried into. the midst... | of the sea;

2 Though the waters thereof roar. | and be troubled ||

Though the mountains shake. I

with the swelling there-of. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad. the city of God ||

The holy place of the tabernacles. of the | Most... | High.
