Psalms 45

1 “To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, by the sons of Korach, a Maskil, a song of love.” My heart swelleth with a good speech; I say, “My works shall be for 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 more fair than the children of men; grace is poured out over thy lips: therefore hath God 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 the thigh, O mighty one, [it is] 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 Yea, it is thy majesty: be prosperous, ride along for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; and fearful things shall thy right hand teach thee.

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 Thy sharpened arrows—people will fall down beneath thee—[will enter] into the heart of the king's enemies.

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, given of God, endureth for ever and ever: the sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

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 hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy associates.

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 Of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are [fragrant] all thy garments: out of palaces of ivory have they made thee joyful with the sound of music.

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 are among those dear to thee: the queen standeth on thy right hand in fine 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 look, and incline thy ear, and forget thy 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 Then will the king long for thy beauty; for he is thy Lord; and bow thyself to 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: the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

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 All gloriously attired awaiteth the king's daughter in the inner chamber: of wrought gold is her garment.

公主穿戴齊備，姍姍來迎，她的衣服全是金絲繡成。

14 In embroidered clothes will she be brought unto the king: virgins that follow her, her companions, are 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 They are led forth with rejoicings and gladness, they enter into the palace of the king.

在歡樂歌舞聲中，一齊進入了王宮。

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children: thou wilt appoint them as princes in all the land.

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。
