OFFICE OF THE B.V.M
115

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of Thy kingdom is a scepter of uprightness.

Thou lovest justice and hatest iniquity: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.

Myrrh and aloes and cassia perfume Thy garments, from out of ivory palaces: from which kings' daughters gladden Thee in Thine honor.

On Thy right hand standeth the Queen, in golden raiment wrought about with variety.

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people and thy father's house.

And the King shall greatly desire thy beauty; for He is the Lord thy God, and Him they shall adore.

And the daughters of Tyre, all the rich ones of the people, with gifts shall entreat thy face.

All her glory [is that] of the King's daughter from within, with fringes of gold, arrayed in divers colors.
