| 1 [[To the Chief Musician. On Shoshannim. For the Sons of Korah. A Psalm of Instruction. A Song of Love.]] Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, [like] the pen of a scribe who is skilled. |
|
| 2 Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age-abiding. |
|
| 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, ['Tis] thine honour and thy majesty; |
|
| 4 And, [in] thy majesty, be successful! ride forth! on behalf of faithfulness, and humility–righteousness, And let thine own right hand show thee wonderful things. |
|
| 5 Thine arrows, are sharp–Peoples, under thee, fall! In the heart of the foes of the king. |
|
| |
|
| 6 Thy throne, O God, is to times age-abiding and beyond, A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of thy kingdom. |
|
| 7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness,–For this cause, hath God, thine own God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, beyond thy partners. |
|
| 8 Myrrh and aloes, cassias, all thy garments,–Out of the palaces of ivory, the tones of strings, have rejoiced thee. |
|
| 9 Daughters of kings, are among thine honourable women, Stationed is the bride at thy right hand, in gold of Ophir. |

|
| 10 Hearken, O daughter, and observe, Incline also thine ear, Forget, then, thine own people, And the house of thy father; |
|
| 11 When the king shall desire thy beauty, Surely, he, is thy lord, then bow down to him. |
|
| 12 Also, the daughter of Tyre, [cometh in] with a present! Thy face, shall the rich of the people appease. |
|
| 13 All glorious–the daughter of a king [sitteth] within, Brocades, wrought with gold, [are] her clothing! |
|
| 14 In embroidered raiment, shall she be brought unto the king–The virgins that follow her, her companions, are to be conducted unto thee: |
|
| 15 They shall be brought, with rejoicings and exultation,–They shall enter into the palace of the king! |
|
| 16 Instead of thy fathers, be thy sons, Thou shalt make them rulers in all the earth. |
|
| 17 I will keep in remembrance thy Name, through each succeeding generation, For this cause, peoples, shall praise thee, to times age-abiding and beyond. |
