New International Version

1My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer. 2You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever. 6Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. 7You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. 8All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad. 9Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.
Psalms 45:1-2,6-9 (NIV)
