Salmene 45,1

Mitt hjerte er fylt med gode ord;
Jeg vil fremføre mine vers for kongen;
Min tunge er en dyktig skrivers penn.

2 Du er den skjønneste blant menneskenes barn;
Nåde strømmer fra dine lepper;
Derfor har Gud velsignet deg for evig.

3 Spenn ditt sverd ved hoften, du mektige,
I din prakt og herlighet!

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
