Psalm 45

Eructavit cor meum
11
“Hear, O daughter; consider and listen closely; *
forget your people and your father’s house.
12
The king will have pleasure in your beauty; *
he is your master; therefore do him honor.
13
The people of Tyre are here with a gift; *
the rich among the people seek your favor.”
14
All glorious is the princess as she enters; *
her gown is cloth-of-gold.
15
In embroidered apparel she is brought to the king; *
after her the bridesmaids follow in procession.
16
With joy and gladness they are brought, *
and enter into the palace of the king.
17
“In place of fathers, O king, you shall have sons; *
you shall make them princes over all the earth.
18
I will make your name to be remembered
from one generation to another; *
therefore nations will praise you for ever and ever.”
