Psalms 45
1 In my inner being I am stirred by a beautiful message which will be sung to the king. The words of this message will be written with a pen by me, a skilled writer.
| למנצח על ששנים לבני קרח משכיל שיר ידידת רחש לבי דבר טוב אמר אני מעשי למלך לשוני עט סופר מהיר׃ |
2 [O King], you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak [MTY] eloquently, because God has always blessed you.
| יפיפית מבני אדם הוצק חן בשפתותיך על כן ברכך אלהים לעולם׃ |
3 You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
| חגור חרבך על ירך גבור הודך והדרך׃ |
4 Ride on like a great chief to defend the truth that you speak and the fair decisions that you make! Because you are strong [MTY], you will do awesome deeds.
| והדרך צלח רכב על דבר אמת וענוה צדק ותורך נוראות ימינך׃ |
5 Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall dead at your feet.
| חציך שנונים עמים תחתיך יפלו בלב אויבי המלך׃ |
6 The kingdom [MTY] that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule [MTY] people justly.
| כסאך אלהים עולם ועד שבט מישר שבט מלכותך׃ |
7 You love right actions, and you hate evil actions. Therefore God, your God, has chosen [MTY] you [to be king] and caused you to be happier [MET] than any other king.
| אהבת צדק ותשנא רשע על כן משחך אלהים אלהיך שמן ששון מחבריך׃ |
8 The perfume of various spices is on your robes. [People] (entertain you/make you happy) in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
| מר ואהלות קציעות כל בגדתיך מן היכלי שן מני שמחוך׃ |
9 Among the women who stay near you [EUP] stay are daughters of [other] kings. And at your right hand stands [your bride], the queen, wearing beautiful ornaments of gold that comes from Ophir.
| בנות מלכים ביקרותיך נצבה שגל לימינך בכתם אופיר׃ |
10 [Now I will say something] to your bride: Listen to me carefully [DOU]! Forget the people who live in your home country, forget your relatives!
| שמעי בת וראי והטי אזנך ושכחי עמך ובית אביך׃ |
11 Because you are [very], the king will desire [to sleep with] [EUP] you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
| ויתאו המלך יפיך כי הוא אדניך והשתחוי לו׃ |
12 The people from Tyre [city] will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
| ובת צר במנחה פניך יחלו עשירי עם׃ |
13 [O king], your bride will be entering the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.
| כל כבודה בת מלך פנימה ממשבצות זהב לבושה׃ |
14 While she is wearing a gown that has many colors, her companions will lead her to you. She will have many other young women who accompany her.
| לרקמות תובל למלך בתולות אחריה רעותיה מובאות לך׃ |
15 They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
| תובלנה בשמחת וגיל תבאינה בהיכל מלך׃ |
16 Some day, your sons and your grandsons will become kings, just like your ancestors were. You will enable them to become rulers in many countries [HYP].
| תחת אבתיך יהיו בניך תשיתמו לשרים בכל הארץ׃ |
17 And as for me, I will enable people in every generation to remember the great things that you [MTY] have done, and people will praise you forever.
| אזכירה שמך בכל דר ודר על כן עמים יהודך לעלם ועד׃ |
