1 De boas palavras transborda o meu coração.

Ao Rei consagro o que compus;

a minha língua é como a pena de habilidoso escritor.

2 Tu és o mais formoso dos filhos dos homens;

nos teus lábios se extravasou a graça;

por isso, Deus te abençoou para sempre.

3 Cinge a espada no teu flanco, herói;

cinge a tua glória e a tua majestade!

4 E nessa majestade cavalga prosperamente,

pela causa da verdade e da justiça;

e a tua destra te ensinará proezas.

5 As tuas setas são agudas,

penetram o coração dos inimigos do Rei;

os povos caem submissos a ti.

6 O teu trono, ó Deus, é para todo o sempre;

cetro de equidade é o cetro do teu reino.

7 Amas a justiça e odeias a iniquidade;

por isso, Deus, o teu Deus, te ungiu

com o óleo de alegria, como a nenhum dos teus companheiros.

8 Todas as tuas vestes recendem a mirra, aloés e cássia;

de palácios de marfim ressoam instrumentos de cordas que te alegram.

9 Filhas de reis se encontram entre as tuas damas de honra;

à tua direita está a rainha adornada de ouro finíssimo de Ofir.

10 Ouve, filha; vê, dá atenção;

esquece o teu povo e a casa de teu pai.

11 Então, o Rei cobiçará a tua formosura;

pois ele é o teu senhor; inclina-te perante ele.

12 A ti virá a filha de Tiro trazendo donativos;

os mais ricos do povo te pedirão favores.

13 Toda formosura é a filha do Rei no interior do palácio;

a sua vestidura é recamada de ouro.

14 Em roupagens bordadas conduzem-na perante o Rei;

as virgens, suas companheiras que a seguem,

serão trazidas à tua presença.

15 Serão dirigidas com alegria e regozijo;

entrarão no palácio do Rei.

16 Em vez de teus pais, serão teus filhos,

os quais farás príncipes por toda a terra.

17 O teu nome, eu o farei celebrado de geração a geração,

e, assim, os povos te louvarão para todo o sempre.

1 My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter;

I speak the things which I have made touching the king:

My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men;

Grace is poured into thy lips:

Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one,

Thy glory and thy majesty.

4 And in thy majesty ride on prosperously,

Because of truth and meekness and righteousness:

And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5 Thine arrows are sharp;

The peoples fall under thee;

They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:

A sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

7 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness:

Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee

With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia;

Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

9 Kings’ daughters are among thy honorable women:

At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;

Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house:

11 So will the king desire thy beauty;

For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift;

The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

13 The king’s daughter within the palace is all glorious:

Her clothing is inwrought with gold.

14 She shall be led unto the king in broidered work:

The virgins her companions that follow her

Shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:

They shall enter into the king’s palace.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,

Whom thou shalt make princes in all the earth.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:

Therefore shall the peoples give thee thanks for ever and ever.

1 My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

2 You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.

3 Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.

4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds.

5 Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.

6 Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.

8 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.

9 Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

10 Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear: Forget your people and your father's house.

11 The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.

12 The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift, men of wealth will seek your favor.

13 All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.

14 In embroidered garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her and are brought to you.

15 They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.

17 I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.
