Psalm 45:6-8

Contemporary English Version

^6 (A) You are God, and you will rule
    forever as king.^[a]
Your royal power
    brings about justice.
⁷ You love justice and hate evil.
    And so, your God chose you
and made you happier
    than any of your friends.
⁸ The sweet aroma of the spices
myrrh, aloes, and cassia
    covers your royal robes.
You enjoy the music of harps
in palaces decorated
    with ivory.
