Psalms 45

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.

1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.*45.1 Maschil: or, of instruction*45.1 is inditing: Heb. boileth, or, bubbleth up

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 most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.*45.4 ride…: Heb. prosper thou, ride thou

5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest 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 the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

9 Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did 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 shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.*45.12 favour: Heb. face

13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

颂赞君王的威荣与婚礼

可拉子孙的训诲诗，又是爱歌，交给诗班长，调用"百合花"。 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。
