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.
In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Filiis Core, ad intellectum. Canticum pro dilecto. [Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi. Lingua mea calamus scribæ velociter scribentis.
2 [O King], you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak [MTY] eloquently, because God has always blessed you.
Speciosus forma præ filiis hominum, diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: propterea benedixit te Deus in æternum.
3 You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
Accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum, potentissime.
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.
Specie tua et pulchritudine tua intende, prospere procede, et regna, propter veritatem, et mansuetudinem, et justitiam; et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua.
5 Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall dead at your feet.
Sagittæ tuæ acutæ: populi sub te cadent, in corda inimicorum regis.
6 The kingdom [MTY] that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule [MTY] people justly.
Sedes tua, Deus, in sæculum sæculi; virga directionis virga regni tui.
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.
Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem; propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo lætitiæ, præ consortibus tuis.
8 The perfume of various spices is on your robes. [People] (entertain you/make you happy) in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
Myrrha, et gutta, et casia a vestimentis tuis, a domibus eburneis; ex quibus delectaverunt te
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.
filiæ regum in honore tuo. Astitit regina a dextris tuis in vestitu deaurato, circumdata varietate.
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!
Audi, filia, et vide, et inclina aurem tuam; et obliviscere populum tuum, et domum patris tui.
11 Because you are [very], the king will desire [to sleep with] [EUP] you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
Et concupiscet rex decorem tuum, quoniam ipse est Dominus Deus tuus, et adorabunt eum.
12 The people from Tyre [city] will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
Et filiæ Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur; omnes divites plebis.
13 [O king], your bride will be entering the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.
Omnis gloria ejus filiæ regis ab intus, in fimbriis aureis,
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.
circumamicta varietatibus. Adducentur regi virgines post eam; proximæ ejus afferentur tibi.
15 They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
Afferentur in lætitia et exsultatione; adducentur in templum regis.
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].
Pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii; constitues eos principes super omnem terram.
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.
Memores erunt nominis tui in omni generatione et generationem: propterea populi confitebuntur tibi in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.]
