תהילים 45

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־שֹׁשַׁנִּים לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מַשְׂכִּיל שִׁיר יְדִידֹֽת׃ רָחַשׁ לִבִּי ׀ דָּבָר טוֹב אֹמֵר אָנִי מַעֲשַׂי לְמֶלֶךְ לְשׁוֹנִי עֵט ׀ סוֹפֵר מָהִֽיר׃

To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2 יׇפְיָפִיתָ מִבְּנֵי אָדָם הוּצַק חֵן בְּשִׂפְתוֹתֶיךָ עַל־כֵּן בֵּֽרַכְךָ אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽם׃

You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.

3 חֲגֽוֹר־חַרְבְּךָ עַל־יָרֵךְ גִּבּוֹר הוֹדְךָ וַהֲדָרֶֽךָ׃

Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.

4 וַהֲדָרְךָ ׀ צְלַח רְכַב עַֽל־דְּבַר־אֱמֶת וְעַנְוָה־צֶדֶק וְתוֹרְךָ נוֹרָאוֹת יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

5 חִצֶּיךָ שְׁנוּנִים עַמִּים תַּחְתֶּיךָ יִפְּלוּ בְּלֵב אוֹיְבֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.

6 כִּסְאֲךָ אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶד שֵׁבֶט מִישֹׁר שֵׁבֶט מַלְכוּתֶֽךָ׃

Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.

7 אָהַבְתָּ צֶּדֶק וַתִּשְׂנָא ־ רֶשַׁע עַל־כֵּן ׀ מְשָׁחֲךָ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ שֶׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן מֵחֲבֵרֶֽךָ׃

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

8 מֹר־וַאֲהָלוֹת קְצִיעוֹת כׇּל־בִּגְדֹתֶיךָ מִֽן־הֵיכְלֵי שֵׁן מִנִּי שִׂמְּחֽוּךָ׃

Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

9 בְּנוֹת מְלָכִים בְּיִקְּרוֹתֶיךָ נִצְּבָה שֵׁגַל לִימִינְךָ בְּכֶתֶם אוֹפִֽיר׃

Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 שִׁמְעִי־בַת וּרְאִי וְהַטִּי אׇזְנֵךְ וְשִׁכְחִי עַמֵּךְ וּבֵית אָבִֽיךְ׃

O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

11 וְיִתְאָו הַמֶּלֶךְ יׇפְיֵךְ כִּי־הוּא אֲדֹנַיִךְ וְהִשְׁתַּֽחֲוִי־לֽוֹ׃

So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.

12 וּבַֽת־צֹר ׀ בְּמִנְחָה פָּנַיִךְ יְחַלּוּ עֲשִׁירֵי עָֽם׃

And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.

13 כׇּל־כְּבוּדָּה בַת־מֶלֶךְ פְּנִימָה מִֽמִּשְׁבְּצוֹת זָהָב לְבוּשָֽׁהּ׃

In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.

14 לִרְקָמוֹת תּוּבַל לַמֶּלֶךְ בְּתוּלוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ רֵעוֹתֶיהָ מוּבָאוֹת לָֽךְ׃

She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.

15 תּוּבַלְנָה בִּשְׂמָחֹת וָגִיל תְּבֹאֶינָה בְּהֵיכַל מֶֽלֶךְ׃

With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.

16 תַּחַת אֲבֹתֶיךָ יִהְיוּ בָנֶיךָ תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ לְשָׂרִים בְּכׇל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.

17 אַזְכִּירָה שִׁמְךָ בְּכׇל־דֹּר וָדֹר עַל־כֵּן עַמִּים יְהוֹדוּךָ לְעֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.
