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 skillful writer.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־שֹׁשַׁנִּים לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מַשְׂכִּיל שִׁיר יְדִידֹֽת׃ רָחַשׁ לִבִּי ׀ דָּבָר טוֹב אֹמֵר אָנִי מַעֲשַׂי לְמֶלֶךְ לְשׁוֹנִי עֵט ׀ סוֹפֵר מָהִֽיר׃ |
2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
| יָפְיָפִיתָ מִבְּנֵי אָדָם הוּצַק חֵן בְּשְׂפְתוֹתֶיךָ עַל־כֵּן בֵּֽרַכְךָ אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽם׃ |
3 Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.
| חֲגֽוֹר־חַרְבְּךָ עַל־יָרֵךְ גִּבּוֹר הוֹדְךָ וַהֲדָרֶֽךָ׃ |
4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
| וַהֲדָרְךָ ׀ צְלַח רְכַב עַֽל־דְּבַר־אֱמֶת וְעַנְוָה־צֶדֶק וְתוֹרְךָ נוֹרָאוֹת יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ |
5 Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.
| חִצֶּיךָ שְׁנוּנִים עַמִּים תַּחְתֶּיךָ יִפְּלוּ בְּלֵב אוֹיְבֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ |
6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
| כִּסְאֲךָ אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶד שֵׁבֶט מִישֹׁר שֵׁבֶט מַלְכוּתֶֽךָ׃ |
7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.
| אָהַבְתָּ צֶּדֶק וַתִּשְׂנָא רֶשַׁע עַל־כֵּן ׀ מְשָׁחֲךָ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ שֶׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן מֵֽחֲבֵרֶֽיךָ׃ |
8 All your garments smell like myrrh and aloes and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
| מֹר־וַאֲהָלוֹת קְצִיעוֹת כָּל־בִּגְדֹתֶיךָ מִֽן־הֵיכְלֵי שֵׁן מִנִּי שִׂמְּחֽוּךָ׃ |
9 Kings' daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
| בְּנוֹת מְלָכִים בְּיִקְּרוֹתֶיךָ נִצְּבָה שֵׁגַל לִֽימִינְךָ בְּכֶתֶם אוֹפִֽיר׃ |
10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father's house.
| שִׁמְעִי־בַת וּרְאִי וְהַטִּי אָזְנֵךְ וְשִׁכְחִי עַמֵּךְ וּבֵית אָבִֽיךְ׃ |
11 So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
| וְיִתְאָו הַמֶּלֶךְ יָפְיֵךְ כִּי־הוּא אֲדֹנַיִךְ וְהִשְׁתַּֽחֲוִי־לֽוֹ׃ |
12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people will seek your favor.
| וּבַֽת־צֹר ׀ בְּמִנְחָה פָּנַיִךְ יְחַלּוּ עֲשִׁירֵי עָֽם׃ |
13 The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
| כָּל־כְּבוּדָּה בַת־מֶלֶךְ פְּנִימָה מִֽמִּשְׁבְּצוֹת זָהָב לְבוּשָֽׁהּ׃ |
14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.
| לִרְקָמוֹת תּוּבַל לַמֶּלֶךְ בְּתוּלוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ רֵעוֹתֶיהָ מוּבָאוֹת לָֽךְ׃ |
15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king's palace.
| תּוּבַלְנָה בִּשְׂמָחֹת וָגִיל תְּבֹאֶינָה בְּהֵיכַל מֶֽלֶךְ׃ |
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
| תַּחַת אֲבֹתֶיךָ יִהְיוּ בָנֶיךָ תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ לְשָׂרִים בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
| אַזְכִּירָה שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל־דֹּר וָדֹר עַל־כֵּן עַמִּים יְהוֹדֻךָ לְעֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ |
