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.

49And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
²Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
⁸Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
⁹Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
¹⁰The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

¹³But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
¹⁴Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
¹⁵Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
¹⁶Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
¹⁷Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
