Psalm 45:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 In the cause of truth, meekness, and justice
may your right hand show your wondrous deeds.
6 Your arrows are sharp;
peoples will cower at your feet;
the king’s enemies will lose heart.
7 Your throne, O God,[a] stands forever;(A)
your royal scepter is a scepter for justice.
Psalm 45:5-7
New International Version
5 Let your sharp arrows(A) pierce the hearts(B) of the king’s enemies;(C)
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 Your throne, O God,[a] will last for ever and ever;(D)
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You love righteousness(E) and hate wickedness;(F)
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing(G) you with the oil of joy.(H)
