  • 45:10 Hear me, daughter, take note and listen closely: leave behind your own people and your family home, 6
  • 45:7 You love justice and hate evil; that is why God, your God, has anointed you, rather than your companions, with the oil of gladness. 4
  • 45:2 You are more handsome than anyone else; grace pours from your lips; that is why God has blessed you forever. 3

  • 45:5 Your arrows are sharp; peoples fall beneath you; they pierce the hearts of the king's enemies. 2
  • 45:8 Your robes all breathe out myrrh and aloes and cassia; the sound of strings from ivory-inlaid palaces brings you joy. 2
  • 45:1 A lovely theme has set my heart astir; I offer my verses to the king, and my tongue runs like the pen of an expert scribe. 1
  • 45:3 Strap your sword to your side, mighty warrior, in your splendor and your majesty! 1
  • 45:4 In your majesty ride out to victory for the sake of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand show you deeds that inspire awe. 1
  • 45:9 Princesses are among the ladies of your court; at your right hand stands the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir. 1
  • 45:16 Where your fathers once stood, your sons will stand; you will set them up as princes over all the land. 1
