1 我心里涌出优美的言辞; 我要为王朗诵我的作品; 我的舌头像经验丰富的作家的笔。
2 你比世人都美好; 你的嘴唇吐出恩言; 因此, 神赐福给你, 直到永远。
3 大能者啊! 愿你腰间佩上刀, 彰显你的尊荣和威严。
4 在你的威严中, 为了真理、谦卑和公义的缘故, 你胜利地乘车前进; 愿你的右手施行可畏的事。
5 你的箭锐利, 射中了王的仇敌的心; 万民都仆倒在你脚下。
6 神啊! 你的宝座是永永远远的, 你国的权杖是公平的权杖。
7 你喜爱公义, 恨恶邪恶, 所以, 神, 就是你的 神, 用喜乐的油膏抹你, 胜过膏抹你的同伴。
8 你的衣服都有没药、沉香和肉桂的香气; 从象牙宫里有丝弦的乐声, 使你欢喜。
9 你的贵妃中有众君王的女儿; 王后佩戴着俄斐的金饰, 站在你的右边。
10 王所爱的女子啊! 你要听, 要看, 要留心地听; 你要忘记你的本族和你的父家;
11 王就爱慕你的美丽; 因为他是你的主, 你要向他俯伏。
12 推罗的居民("居民"原文作"女子")必带着礼物而来; 民间富有的人要向你求恩。
13 王所爱的女子在宫里, 极其荣华; 她的衣服全是用金线绣成的。
14 她身穿刺绣的衣服, 被引到王的面前; 她后面伴随的童女, 也都被带到你的面前。
15 她们欢喜快乐被引到王那里; 她们要进入王宫。
16 你的子孙必接续你的列祖; 你要立他们作全地的王。
17 我必使你的名被万代记念; 因此万民都必称赞你, 直到永永远远。
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.
