Psalms 45:2

1 My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips, since God has blessed you forever.

3 Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.

4 In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

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.
