Psalms 45
1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is overflowing with a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a skilful writer.
in finem pro his qui commutabuntur filiis Core ad intellectum canticum pro dilecto eructavit cor meum verbum bonum dico ego opera mea regi lingua mea calamus scribae velociter scribentis
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
speciosus forma prae filiis hominum diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis propterea benedixit te Deus in aeternum
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum potentissime
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
specie tua et pulchritudine tua et intende prospere procede et regna propter veritatem et mansuetudinem et iustitiam et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua
5 Thy arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; by which the people fall under thee.
sagittae tuae acutae populi sub te cadent in corde inimicorum regis
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of justice.
sedis tua Deus in saeculum saeculi virga directionis virga regni tui
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
dilexisti iustitiam et odisti iniquitatem propterea unxit te Deus Deus tuus oleo laetitiae prae consortibus tuis
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made thee glad.
murra et gutta et cassia a vestimentis tuis a domibus eburneis ex quibus delectaverunt te
9 Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir.
filiae regum in honore tuo adstetit regina a dextris tuis in vestitu deaurato circumdata varietate
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thy ear; forget also thy own people, and thy father’s house;
audi filia et vide et inclina aurem tuam et obliviscere populum tuum et domum patris tui
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
et concupiscet rex decorem tuum quoniam ipse est dominus tuus et adorabunt eum
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.
et; filiae Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur divites plebis
13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
omnis gloria eius filiae regis ab intus in fimbriis aureis
14 She shall be brought to the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought to thee.
circumamicta varietatibus adducentur regi virgines post eam proximae eius adferentur tibi
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
adferentur in laetitia et exultatione adducentur in templum regis
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii constitues eos principes super omnem terram
17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
memor ero nominis tui in omni generatione et generatione propterea populi confitebuntur tibi in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi
