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 iustitiam: 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 iustitiam, 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 eius 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 eius afferentur tibi.
15 They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
Afferentur in lætitia et exultatione: 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.
