Psalm 45

¹My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
²Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
³Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
⁴And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
⁵Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
⁶Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
⁷Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
⁸All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
⁹Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
¹⁰Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
¹¹So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
¹²And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
¹³The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
¹⁴She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
¹⁵With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
¹⁶Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
¹⁷I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

4But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
²And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
³And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
⁴But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.
⁵For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
²But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
³Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
⁴And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

⁷Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
⁸He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
⁹In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
¹¹Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
¹²No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
¹³Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
¹⁴And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
