Salmos 45

For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Lilies." A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song.

1 My heart overflows with a noble theme.

I recite my verses for the king.

My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men.

Grace has anointed your lips,

therefore God has blessed you forever.

3 Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,

in your splendor and your majesty.

4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.

Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

5 Your arrows are sharp.

The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.

6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever.

A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.

Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.

Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

9 Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women.

At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.

Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

11 So the king will desire your beauty,

honor him, for he is your lord.

12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.

The rich among the people entreat your favor.

13 The princess inside is all glorious.

Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.

The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led.

They shall enter into the king’s palace.

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers.

You shall make them princes in all the earth.

17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.

Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

He Waiata Mārena mō te Kīngi

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He Hohanimi mā ngā tama a Koraha. He Makiri, he waiata aroha.

1 E pupuke ake ana te mea pai i roto i tōku ngākau;

ka kōrerotia e ahau āku i tito ai mō te kīngi;

he pene tōku arero nā te kaituhituhi hohoro.

2 Engari koe he ātaahua i ngā tama a te tangata;

kua ringihia ōu ngutu ki te āhuareka;

nā reira i manaakitia ai koe e te Atua ake ake.

3 Whītikiria tāu hoari ki tōu hūwhā, e te Nui Rawa,

tōu korōria me tōu hōnore.

4 Aratakina hoki tōu hōiho i runga i tōu hōnore, i te kaha,

hei mea hoki mō te pono, mō te māhaki, mō te tika,

ā, mā tōu matau koe e whakaako ki ngā mea whakamataku.

5 He koi āu pere; ka hinga ngā iwi ki raro i a koe;

kei roto rātou i te ngākau o ngā hoariri o te kīngi.

6 He pūmau, e te Atua, tōu torōna ake ake;

he hēpeta tika te hēpeta o tōu kīngitanga.

7 Kua aroha koe ki te tika, kua kino ki te hara;

nā reira, nui atu i tō ōu hoa te whakawahinga a te Atua,

a tōu Atua i a koe ki te hinu o te hari.

8 Ko tōu kākahu katoa he kakara maira, he aroe, he kahia.

Ko ngā mea aho, whakatangitangi o ngā whare rei

nāna koe i whakaahuareka.

9 Kei roto i āu wāhine hōnore ngā tamāhine kīngi;

kei tōu matau te kuīni e tū ana, nō Ōpira te kōura.

10 Whakarongo, e kō, titiro, tahuri iho tōu taringa;

ā, kia wareware koe ki tōu iwi, ki te whare anō o tōu pāpā.

11 Pēnei ka matenuitia e te kīngi tōu ātaahua;

ko ia hoki tōu Ariki; ā, me koropiko ki a ia.

12 Ko reira anō te tamāhine o Tāira me te ohaoha;

ka whai anō ngā tāngata taonga o te iwi kia manakohia e koe.

13 Kei roto te tamāhine a te kīngi, he korōria kau,

he mea whakairo ki te kōura tōna kākahu.

14 He mea whakapaipai ki te ngira tōna kākahu e kawea ai ia ki te kīngi;

ka ārahina ki a koe ngā wāhina,

ōna takahoa e whai ana i a ia.

15 He hari, he koa ina kawea mai rātou;

ka tomo ki te whare o te kīngi.

16 Ko āu tamariki hei whakakapi mō ōu mātua;

ka meinga anō rātou e koe hei kāwana mō te whenua katoa.

17 Ka meinga e ahau tōu ingoa kia maharatia e ngā whakatupuranga katoa;

e whakamoemititia ai koe e ngā iwi ā ake ake.
