Psalm 45
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 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.
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.

Cántico para las bodas del rey
Al músico principal. Sobre Lirios. Masquil de los hijos de Coré. Cántico nupcial.
45 Rebosa mi corazón con un bello poema.
Esta obra mía se la dedico al rey.
¡Mi lengua es la pluma de inspirado poeta!
2 Eres el más hermoso de los mortales;
la gracia mana de tus labios;
¡por eso Dios te ha bendecido para siempre!
3 ¡Cíñete la espada, valiente guerrero,
y cúbrete de honra y majestad!
4 ¡Que tengas prosperidad y gloria!
¡Cabalga defendiendo la verdad, la humildad y la justicia,
guiado por tu diestra portentosa!
5 ¡Que penetren, oh rey, tus agudas flechas
en el corazón de tus enemigos,
y que los pueblos se rindan ante ti!
6 Oh Dios, tu trono es eterno y permanente;
tu cetro real es un cetro de justicia.
7 Porque amas la justicia y odias la maldad,
Dios, tu Dios, te ha ungido como rey;
ha derramado en ti el perfume de alegría;
¡te eligió a ti, y no a tus compañeros!(A)
8 Mirra, áloe y canela perfuman tus vestidos,
y en los palacios de marfil te brindan alegría.
9 Entre tus favoritas hay muchas princesas;
La reina, a tu derecha, luce joyas de oro de Ofir.
10 «Hija mía, inclina tu oído y préstame atención:
Olvídate de tu pueblo y de la casa paterna,
11 que el rey desea poseer tu hermosura;
él es tu señor, y le debes obediencia.
12 Gente de Tiro vendrá a ti con presentes;
los ricos del pueblo implorarán tu favor.»
13 ¡Esplendorosa se ve la princesa en su alcoba!
¡Sus vestidos son de brocado de oro!
14 Así ataviada se presenta ante el rey,
seguida por su séquito de doncellas,
traídas de lejos para hacerle compañía;
15 y entre jubilosas voces de alegría
serán conducidas al palacio real.
16 Tus hijos sucederán a tus padres,
y los harás príncipes de toda la tierra.
17 Yo perpetuaré tu nombre para siempre,
y perpetuamente los pueblos te alabarán.
Psalm 45
New King James Version
The Glories of the Messiah and His Bride
To the Chief Musician. (A)Set to [a]“The Lilies.” A [b]Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.
45 My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a [c]ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the sons of men;
(B)Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.
3 [d]Gird Your (C)sword upon Your thigh, (D)O Mighty One,
With Your (E)glory and Your majesty.
4 (F)And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;
And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;
The peoples fall under You.
6 (G)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A (H)scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has (I)anointed You
With the oil of (J)gladness more than Your companions.
8 All Your garments are (K)scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
9 (L)Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;
(M)At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10 Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
(N)Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
11 So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
(O)Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
(P)The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13 The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;
Her clothing is woven with gold.
14 (Q)She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
They shall enter the King’s palace.
16 Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,
(R)Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
17 (S)I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
