Psalms 45

1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

科辣黑後裔的訓誨歌，交與樂官。 我的心靈湧溢優雅的言辭，向我君王傾吐我的讚美詩；我舌好像書寫流利的妙筆。

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

你在世人中最為美麗，你口中流著慈惠，因此天主永遠祝福你。

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

英雄！請在腰間佩帶你的刀劍，就是佩帶上你的榮耀和威嚴。

4 And in thy majesty ride triumphantly because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall shew thee dreadful things.

願你為了信實和正義驅駕順利，願你的右手指導你驚人的奇事!

5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

萬民必因你的銳箭屈服於你，君王的眾仇敵必要膽破心悸。

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

上主! 你的御座永遠常存，你治國的權杖無比公允。

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

你愛護正義，你又憎恨罪辜：為這個緣故，你的天主，以喜油傅你，勝過你的伴侶。

8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

你的衣冠散布沒藥、沉香、與肉桂的芬芳。由象牙宮中奏出絃樂的聲音，使你歡暢；

9 Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

列王的公主都成群結隊前來歡迎你，王后佩帶敖非爾金飾，在你右邊侍立。

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;

女兒！請聽，請看，也請側耳細聽：忘卻你的民族和你的家庭！

11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

因為君王戀慕你的美艷雅麗，祂是你主，你應向祂俯道至地！

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

提洛的女兒都前來奉獻禮品，民間的顯要都想得你的歡心。

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

公主穿戴齊備，姍姍來迎，她的衣服全是金絲繡成。

14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

她身穿繡衣華服，被弔到君王面前，成群的童女陪伴著她，也到你身邊：

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

在歡樂歌舞聲中，一齊進入了王宮。

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

你的子孫要承嗣你的先祖；立他們為王，統治普天率土。

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

我要使你的名永垂不朽；萬民將歌頌你至永久。
