1 Ao mestre de canto. Segundo a melodia: Os lírios. Hino dos filhos de Coré. Canto nupcial. Transbordam palavras sublimes do meu coração. Ao rei dedico o meu canto. Minha língua é como o estilo de um ágil escriba.
2 Sois belo, o mais belo dos filhos dos homens. Expande-se a graça em vossos lábios, pelo que Deus vos cumulou de bênçãos eternas.
3 Cingi-vos com vossa espada, ó herói; ela é vosso ornamento e esplendor.
4 Erguei-vos vitorioso em defesa da verdade e da justiça. Que vossa mão se assinale por feitos gloriosos.
5 Aguçadas são as vossas flechas; a vós se submetem os povos; os inimigos do rei perdem o ânimo.
6 Vosso trono, ó Deus, é eterno, de eqüidade é vosso cetro real.
7 Amais a justiça e detestais o mal, pelo que o Senhor, vosso Deus, vos ungiu com óleo de alegria, preferindo-vos aos vossos iguais.
8 Exalam vossas vestes perfume de mirra, aloés e incenso; do palácio de marfim os sons das liras vos deleitam.
9 Filhas de reis formam vosso cortejo; posta-se à vossa direita a rainha, ornada de ouro de Ofir.
10 Ouve, filha, vê e presta atenção: esquece o teu povo e a casa de teu pai.
11 De tua beleza se encantará o rei; ele é teu senhor, rende-lhe homenagens.
12 Habitantes de Tiro virão com seus presentes, próceres do povo implorarão teu favor.
13 Toda formosa, entra a filha do rei, com vestes bordadas de ouro.
14 Em roupagens multicores apresenta-se ao rei, após ela vos são apresentadas as virgens, suas companheiras.
15 Levadas entre alegrias e júbilos, ingressam no palácio real.
16 Tomarão os vossos filhos o lugar de vossos pais, vós os estabelecereis príncipes sobre toda a terra.
17 Celebrarei vosso nome através das gerações. E os povos vos louvarão eternamente.
1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
2 \45:1\My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
3 \45:2\You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.
4 \45:3\Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.
5 \45:4\And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.
6 \45:5\Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.
7 \45:6\Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.
8 \45:7\You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.
9 \45:8\Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.
10 \45:9\Kings' daughters are among your noble women: on your right is the queen in gold of Ophir.
11 \45:10\O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;
12 \45:11\So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.
13 \45:12\And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.
14 \45:13\In the great house the king's daughter is all shining: her clothing is worked with gold.
15 \45:14\She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.
16 \45:15\With joy and rapture will they come; they will go into the king's house.
17 \45:16\Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.
18 \45:17\I will keep the memory of your name living through all generations; and because of this the people will give you praise for ever.
