The King’s Wedding Song

45 My heart flows over with good words. I sing my songs to the King. My tongue writes the words of a good writer. You are more beautiful than the children of men. Loving-favor is poured upon Your lips. So God has honored You forever.

Put Your sword on at Your side, O Powerful One, in Your greatness and power that can be seen. And in Your great power, move on to win the fight for truth and for not having pride and for what is right and good. Let Your right hand teach You to do great things. Your arrows are sharp. The people fall under You. Your arrows are in the heart of those who hate the King.

O God, Your throne is forever and ever. You rule Your holy nation by what is right. You have loved what is right and good. You have hated what is wrong. That is why God, Your God, has chosen You. He has poured over You the oil of joy more than over anyone else. All Your clothes smell of fine perfumes. Out of ivory palaces music of strings have made You glad. Daughters of kings are among Your women of honor. At Your right hand stands the queen, wearing gold from Ophir.

10 Listen, O daughter, hear my words and think about them. Forget your people and your father’s house. 11 Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him. 12 And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift. The rich people will ask for your favor.

13 The daughter of the King is beautiful within. Her clothes are made with gold. 14 She will be led to the King in clothes sewed for beauty. The young women who have never had men are her friends. They follow her and will be brought to You. 15 They will be led in with joy and happiness, because they will come into the King’s palace.

16 Instead of Your fathers, it will be Your sons whom You will make rulers over all the earth. 17 I will make Your name to be remembered to all the children-to-come. So that the nations will honor You forever and ever.

Your Throne, O God, Is Forever

To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil[a] of (A)the Sons of Korah; a love song.

45 My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;
    I address my verses to the king;
    my tongue is like the pen of (B)a ready scribe.

You are (C)the most handsome of the sons of men;
    (D)grace is poured upon your lips;
    therefore God has blessed you forever.
(E)Gird your (F)sword on your thigh, O (G)mighty one,
    in (H)your splendor and majesty!

In your majesty (I)ride out victoriously
    for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
    let your right hand teach you (J)awesome deeds!
Your arrows are sharp
    in the heart of the king's enemies;
    the peoples fall under you.

(K)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
    The (L)scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
    (M)you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore (N)God, your God, has (O)anointed you
    with the oil of (P)gladness (Q)beyond your companions;
    your robes are all fragrant with (R)myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces (S)stringed instruments make you glad;
    daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
    (T)at your right hand stands the queen in (U)gold of Ophir.

10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
    forget your people and your father's house,
11     and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your (V)lord, (W)bow to him.
12     The people[b] of Tyre will (X)seek your favor with (Y)gifts,
    (Z)the richest of the people.[c]

13 All glorious is (AA)the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold.
14     (AB)In many-colored robes (AC)she is led to the king,
    with her virgin companions following behind her.
15 With joy and gladness they are led along
    as they enter the palace of the king.

16 In place of your fathers shall be your sons;
    you will make them (AD)princes in all the earth.
17 (AE)I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
    therefore nations will praise you forever and ever.

45 Lindas palavras comovem meu coração;
recitarei um belo poema a respeito do rei,
pois minha língua é como a pena de um habilidoso escritor.

Tu és o mais belo de todos;
palavras graciosas fluem de teus lábios.
Sim, Deus te abençoou para sempre.
Põe tua espada à cintura, ó poderoso guerreiro;
tu és glorioso e majestoso!
Em tua majestade, cavalga para a vitória
e defende a verdade, a humildade e a justiça;
avança e realiza feitos notáveis.
Tuas flechas são agudas e atravessam o coração de teus inimigos;
as nações caem a teus pés.

Teu trono, ó Deus,[b] permanece para todo o sempre;
tu governas com cetro de justiça.
Amas a justiça e odeias o mal;
por isso, Deus, o teu Deus, te ungiu.
Derramou sobre ti o óleo da alegria
mais que sobre qualquer outro.
Mirra, aloés e cássia perfumam tuas roupas;
em palácios de marfim, instrumentos de cordas te alegram.
Entre as mulheres de tua corte há filhas de reis;
à tua direita, está a rainha,
usando joias de ouro puro de Ofir.

10 Ouça, ó filha de rei; leve a sério o que digo.
Esqueça seu povo e sua família,
11 pois o rei, seu marido, se encanta com sua beleza;
honre-o, pois ele é seu senhor.
12 A cidade de Tiro[c] a cobrirá de presentes,
os ricos suplicarão por seu favor.
13 A princesa é uma linda noiva,
belíssima em seu vestido dourado.
14 Em suas roupas bordadas, é levada até o rei,
acompanhada de suas damas de honra.
15 Formam um grupo alegre e festivo
que entra no palácio real.

16 Teus filhos serão reis, como o pai deles;
tu os farás governantes de muitas terras.
17 Eu darei honra ao teu nome por todas as gerações;
por isso, as nações te louvarão para todo o sempre.
