[Verse] My heart indites a good matter, Of what I made touching the king, Gladly composing, my heart ever gladder, My tongue is a pen, writing everything. More fair than the children of women. Grace is poured into thy lips. God blesses you for ever again. Gird up your sword on your hip! Most mighty in majesty and glory. Prosper and ride in your majesty. Because of truth! For thee! For the righteous! For the meek! [Pre-chorus] Your right hand will teach and bring terrible things. To the heart your arrows strike the king’s enemies. Thus those who oppose will fall under thee. Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever. Yeah they will fall for all to see. A right scepter is your kingdom’s scepter. [Chorus] You love the good. You love righteousness. And hate the bad. You hate wickedness. Therefore God, thy God, He has anointed you. With the oil of gladness, Past your peers strong and true. [Verse] All your garments smell of myrrh, Of cassia sweet, and of aloes, From the ivory palaces where they were, They made you glad as you arose. [Interlude] Kings’ daughters were seen, Among your honourable women. On thy right hand stood the queen Wearing gold of Ophir—Harken! [Verse] The rich of the land want her glory and light. They seek for her favor to hold. Daughter of the king, glory of their sight. And her clothing is wrought of pure gold. Adorned in raiment of needlework: She shall be brought to the king. The virgins her companions, they follow her. They shall be brought unto thee. [Chorus] You love the good. You love righteousness. And hate the bad. You hate wickedness. Therefore God, thy God, He has anointed you. With the oil of gladness, Past your peers strong and true. [Verse] With gladness will they be brought in. With rejoicing enter they the king’s palace. Not your fathers, they will be your children, Who you may raise throughout the land to princely status. In every generation your name will I keep. I will make your name to be remembered Therefore the people will pra-aise thee, Praise thee for ever and ever!
