Psalms 45

1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song. My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skilful writer.

可拉後裔的訓誨詩，又是愛慕歌，交與伶長。調用百合花。 我心裏湧出美辭； 我論到我為王做的事， 我的舌頭是快手筆。

2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.

你比世人更美； 在你嘴裏滿有恩惠； 所以上帝賜福給你，直到永遠。

3 Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendour and your majesty.

大能者啊，願你腰間佩刀， 大有榮耀和威嚴！

4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

為真理、謙卑、公義赫然坐車前往，無不得勝； 你的右手必顯明可畏的事。

5 Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.

你的箭鋒快，射中王敵之心； 萬民仆倒在你以下。

6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of your kingdom.

上帝啊，你的寶座是永永遠遠的； 你的國權是正直的。

7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

你喜愛公義，恨惡罪惡； 所以上帝－就是你的上帝－用喜樂油膏你， 勝過膏你的同伴。

8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

你的衣服都有沒藥、沉香、肉桂的香氣； 象牙宮中有絲弦樂器的聲音使你歡喜。

9 Kings’ daughters are amongst your honourable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

有君王的女兒在你尊貴婦女之中； 王后佩戴俄斐金飾站在你右邊。

10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

女子啊，你要聽，要想，要側耳而聽！ 不要記念你的民和你的父家，

11 So the king will desire your beauty, honour him, for he is your lord.

王就羨慕你的美貌； 因為他是你的主，你當敬拜他。

12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich amongst the people entreat your favour.

泰爾的民必來送禮； 民中的富足人也必向你求恩。

13 The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

王女在宮裏極其榮華； 她的衣服是用金線繡的。

14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

她要穿錦繡的衣服，被引到王前； 隨從她的陪伴童女也要被帶到你面前。

15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king’s palace.

她們要歡喜快樂被引導； 她們要進入王宮。

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.

你的子孫要接續你的列祖； 你要立他們在全地作王。

17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

我必叫你的名被萬代記念， 所以萬民要永永遠遠稱謝你。
