Psalm 45 (Tune: Golden Hill)

Psalm 45 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) 1 My heart inditing is good matter in a song: I speak the things that I have made, which to the King belong: 2 Thou'rt fairest of all men; grace in thy lips doth flow: And therefore blessings evermore on thee doth God bestow. 3 Thy sword gird on thy thigh, thou that art most of might: Appear in dreadful majesty, and in thy glory bright. 4 For meekness, truth, and right, ride prosp'rously in state; And thy right hand shall teach to thee things terrible and great. 5 Thy shafts shall pierce their hearts that foes are to the King; Whereby into subjection the people thou shalt bring.
