Bible Verses About Daughters

“The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.”

— Psalms 45:13

Jesus' most tender miracles include two daughters — one aged twelve and dead, one grown and hemorrhaging hope — and he calls both "daughter," an address of honor in that world. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Psalms 45:13 to Psalms 127:3.

Quick answer: The best-known verse about daughters here is Psalms 45:13: "The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold." Mark 5:23 follows close behind: "And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live." Both are public-domain translations, shown in full on the cards below with a modern-English toggle.

When to read these verses

These verses fit the people-shaped chapters of life: new relationships, strained ones, long ones, and the ones being rebuilt. They read best slowly and in both directions — what Scripture asks of you, not only of the other party.

How to use this list

Copy the verse that names your situation and put it where the relationship lives — a shared note, a printed card, a text with one sentence of your own under it. The list reads differently as the relationship moves, which is why it stays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Bible verse about daughters?
Psalms 45:13 is the one most readers land on: "The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold." Mark 5:23 is the usual second: "And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live." The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
Do these verses apply to daughters today, or only to their original culture?
The verses on this page are presented as they read — in context, without retrofitting. The underlying principles (covenant faithfulness, self-giving love, honesty, honor) are stated by the texts themselves as broadly applicable, while some first-century household details obviously require translation across cultures. Reading the full verse text, rather than a phrase pulled loose, is the built-in safeguard.
Where in the Bible does it talk about daughters?
The verses on this page come from 12 books of the Bible — most notably Psalms, Mark, Luke and 9 more — spanning both Old and New Testaments. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses daughters in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.
How do I use a list of verses about daughters?
Read the list once slowly, then keep the one verse that fits your situation close — the copy button places it wherever you will actually see it. Every card can be switched to the World English Bible for modern wording, and the random verse tool at the top of the page can draw one verse from this theme at a time if the whole list is more than today needs.
