Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words:

forget your own people and your father's house.

So will the king desire your beauty,

he is your lord, pay homage to him.

Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words
    The voice of the Word instructing us to listen and obey him so he can lead us into the depths of the Trinity.

forget your own people and your father's house.
    To soar the heights of contemplation of God one cannot be attached to creatures nor can one be desirous of establishing and living in the Kingdom of this World.

So will the king desire your beauty,
    It is difficult to conceive at first but this shows we are egotistical.  The Holy Spirit dwelling in us makes us highly desirable to God.  So too does his own image in us.  So too does the fact that he created us for his own good pleasure and delight.  To
whom and to what, then, will you give your heart that can in any way approach such a lofty vocation?

he is your Lord, pay homage to him.
    Adoration, honor and glory belong by right to the Lamb who was slain.
