Psalm 45:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸The sweet aroma of the spices
myrrh, aloes, and cassia
    covers your royal robes.
You enjoy the music of harps
in palaces decorated
    with ivory.
⁹Daughters of kings are here,
and your bride stands
    at your right side,
wearing a wedding gown
    trimmed with pure gold.^[a]

¹⁰Bride of the king,
listen carefully to me.
Forget your own people
and your father's family.
