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 is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king;(a) my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2
You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips, since God has blessed you forever.
3
Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.
4
In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.
6
Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.(b)
8
All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9
The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
10
Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,
11
and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.
12
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
13
All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
14
In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.
15
They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
16
Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17
I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
