Psalmorum 45
1 in finem pro his qui commutabuntur filiis Core ad intellectum canticum pro dilecto eructavit cor meum verbum bonum dico ego opera mea regi lingua mea calamus scribae velociter scribentis
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2 speciosus forma prae filiis hominum diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis propterea benedixit te Deus in aeternum
You are the most handsome of men; grace has anointed your lips, since God has blessed you forever.
3 accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum potentissime
Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.
4 specie tua et pulchritudine tua et intende prospere procede et regna propter veritatem et mansuetudinem et iustitiam et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua
In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.
5 sagittae tuae acutae populi sub te cadent in corde inimicorum regis
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 sedis tua Deus in saeculum saeculi virga directionis virga regni tui
Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7 dilexisti iustitiam et odisti iniquitatem propterea unxit te Deus Deus tuus oleo laetitiae prae consortibus tuis
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.
8 murra et gutta et cassia a vestimentis tuis a domibus eburneis ex quibus delectaverunt te
All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.
9 filiae regum in honore tuo adstetit regina a dextris tuis in vestitu deaurato circumdata varietate
The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
10 audi filia et vide et inclina aurem tuam et obliviscere populum tuum et domum patris tui
Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,
11 et concupiscet rex decorem tuum quoniam ipse est dominus tuus et adorabunt eum
and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.
12 et; filiae Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur divites plebis
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.
13 omnis gloria eius filiae regis ab intus in fimbriis aureis
All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
14 circumamicta varietatibus adducentur regi virgines post eam proximae eius adferentur tibi
In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.
15 adferentur in laetitia et exultatione adducentur in templum regis
They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
16 pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii constitues eos principes super omnem terram
Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17 memor ero nominis tui in omni generatione et generatione propterea populi confitebuntur tibi in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi
I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
