In context

2My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: My tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

3Thou art more beautiful than the sons of men: Grace has been shed forth on thy lips: Therefore God has blessed thee forever.

— Psalms 44:4 —

5And bend thy bow, and prosper, and reign, Because of truth and meekness and righteousness; And thy right hand shall guide thee wonderfully.

6Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One (The nations shall fall under thee); They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.
