Psalms 45:10-16
Royal bride, listen and pay careful attention. Forget about your people and the home you came from.Let the king be charmed by your beauty. Honor him. He is now your master.The people of Tyre will come with gifts. Wealthy people will try to gain your favor.In her room, the princess looks glorious. Her gown has gold threads running through it.Dressed in beautiful clothes, she is led to the king. Her virgin companions follow her. They have been brought to be with her.They are led in with joy and gladness. They enter the palace of the king.Your sons will rule just as your father and grandfather did. You will make them princes through the whole land.

He wants a church that is holy and without blame.

Come out to meet him!’“ Then all the bridesmaids woke up and got their lamps ready.The foolish ones said to the wise ones,‘ Give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out.’“‘ No,’ they replied.‘ There may not be enough for all of us. Instead, go to those who sell oil. Buy some for yourselves.’“ So they went to buy the oil.
