Psalm 45
New International Version
Psalm 45[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil.[b] A wedding song.(A)
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,(B)
since God has blessed you forever.(C)
3 Gird your sword(D) on your side, you mighty one;(E)
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.(F)
4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously(G)
in the cause of truth, humility and justice;(H)
let your right hand(I) achieve awesome deeds.(J)
5 Let your sharp arrows(K) pierce the hearts(L) of the king’s enemies;(M)
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 Your throne, O God,[c] will last for ever and ever;(N)
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
7 You love righteousness(O) and hate wickedness;(P)
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing(Q) you with the oil of joy.(R)
8 All your robes are fragrant(S) with myrrh(T) and aloes(U) and cassia;(V)
from palaces adorned with ivory(W)
the music of the strings(X) makes you glad.
9 Daughters of kings(Y) are among your honored women;
at your right hand(Z) is the royal bride(AA) in gold of Ophir.(AB)
10 Listen, daughter,(AC) and pay careful attention:(AD)
Forget your people(AE) and your father’s house.
11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;(AF)
honor(AG) him, for he is your lord.(AH)
12 The city of Tyre(AI) will come with a gift,[d](AJ)
people of wealth will seek your favor.
13 All glorious(AK) is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.(AL)
14 In embroidered garments(AM) she is led to the king;(AN)
her virgin companions(AO) follow her—
those brought to be with her.
15 Led in with joy and gladness,(AP)
they enter the palace of the king.
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
you will make them princes(AQ) throughout the land.

Poema para las bodas del rey
(1) Del maestro de coro, según la melodía de «Los lirios». Poema de los hijos de Coré. Canto de amor.
45 (2) Palabras hermosas bullen en mi mente;
mi lengua es como la pluma de un buen escritor.
¡Voy a recitar mi poesía ante el rey!
2 (3) ¡Eres el más hermoso de los hombres!
¡El encanto brota de tus labios!
Por eso Dios te bendijo para siempre.
3 (4) ¡Ponte la espada a la cintura, valiente!
¡Ella es tu adorno esplendoroso!
4 (5) Tu gloria consiste en avanzar triunfante,
luchando en favor de la verdad
y haciendo justicia a los humildes.
¡Tu mano derecha realiza grandes proezas!
5 (6) Los pueblos caen a tus pies, oh rey;
tus flechas son agudas y se clavan
en el corazón de tus enemigos.
6 (7) Tu reinado, oh Dios, es eterno,
y es un reinado de justicia.
7 (8) Amas el bien y odias el mal.
Por eso te ha escogido Dios, tu Dios,
y te ha colmado de alegría
más que a tus compañeros.
8 (9) Toda tu ropa es perfume de mirra, áloe y canela;
con música de instrumentos de cuerda
te alegran en los palacios de marfil.
9 (10) Entre las damas de tu corte hay princesas;
a la derecha de tu trono está la reina,
adornada con el oro más fino.
10 (11) Escucha, hijita;
fíjate bien en lo que voy a decirte:
Olvídate de tu familia y de tu gente,
11 (12) pues el rey desea tu belleza;
él es tu señor, y debes obedecerlo.
12 (13) Princesa de Tiro,
los más ricos del pueblo
procuran con regalos ganarse tu favor.
13 (14) ¡Aquí entra la princesa, en toda su hermosura!
¡Su vestido es de brocado de oro!
14 (15) Espléndidamente vestida la llevan ante el rey,
seguida de sus damas de honor,
del cortejo de sus amigas.
15 (16) Avanzan con gran alegría;
alegres entran en el palacio del rey.
16 (17) Tus hijos, oh rey,
ocuparán el trono de tus antepasados,
y harás que gobiernen en todo el país.
17 (18) Yo haré que tu nombre se recuerde
en cada nueva generación,
y que los pueblos te alaben por siempre.
Psalm 45
King James Version
Psalm 45
King James Version
45 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.
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.
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.
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.
