My heart is moved by a noble theme

(1 Kings 3:1-15; 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; Psalm 72:1-20)
1
In my inner being I am aroused by something beautiful to write about, a song that I will sing to the king. The words of this song will be written by me, a skilled writer.
2
O King, you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak eloquently! So we know that God has always blessed you.
3
You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
4
Ride on like a great king to defend the truth that you speak and the fair decisions that you make! Because you fight in many battles, you will learn to do deeds that your enemies will fear.
5
Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall at your feet.
6
The kingdom that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule over people justly.
7
You love right actions, and you hate evil actions. Therefore God, your God, has chosen you to be king and has caused you to be happier than any other king.
8
The perfume of various spices is on your robes. Musicians entertain you in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
9
Among your wives are daughters of other kings. At your right hand stands your bride, the queen, wearing beautiful ornaments of gold that comes from Ophir.
10
Now I will say something to your bride: “Listen to me carefully! Forget the people who live in your home country, forget your relatives!
11
Because you are very beautiful, the king will desire to be with you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
12
The people from the city of Tyre will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
13
You, the king’s bride, enter the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.”
14
O king, while she is wearing a gown that has many colors, her woman servants will lead her to you. She will have many other young women who accompany her.
15
They will be very joyful as they are led along to enter your palace.
16
Someday, your sons and your grandsons will become kings, just as your ancestors were. You will enable them to become rulers in many countries.
17
As for me, I will enable people in every generation to remember the great things that you have done, and people will praise you forever.

My heart is moved by a noble theme

(1 Kings 3:1-15; 2 Chronicles 1:1-13; Psalm 72:1-20)
1
My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
2
You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
3
Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.
4
In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5
Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.
6
Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7
You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8
All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
9
Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
10
Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
11
So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
12
The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.
13
The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14
She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
15
With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king’s palace.
16
Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17
I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
