Psalms 45

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 For the leader; according to "Lilies." A maskil of the Korahites. A love song.	1 In finem, filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus.
2 My heart is stirred by a noble theme, as I sing my ode to the king. My tongue is the pen of a nimble scribe.	2 Deus noster refugium et virtus ; adjutor in tribulationibus quæ invenerunt nos nimis.
3 You are the most handsome of men; fair speech has graced your lips, for God has blessed you forever.	3 Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra, et transferentur montes in cor maris.
4 Gird your sword upon your hip, mighty warrior! In splendor and majesty ride on triumphant!	4 Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum ; conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus.
5 In the cause of truth and justice may your right hand show you wondrous deeds.	5 Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei : sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
6 Your arrows are sharp; peoples will cower at your feet; the king's enemies will lose heart.	6 Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur ; adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
7 Your throne, O god, stands forever; your royal scepter is a scepter for justice.	7 Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna : dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
8 You love justice and hate wrongdoing; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellow kings.	8 Dominus virtutum nobiscum ; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
9 With myrrh, aloes, and cassia your robes are fragrant. From ivory-paneled palaces stringed instruments bring you joy.	9 Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram,
10 Daughters of kings are your lovely wives; a princess arrayed in Ophir's gold comes to stand at your right hand.	10 auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma, et scuta comburet igni.
11 Listen, my daughter, and understand; pay me careful heed. Forget your people and your father's house,	11 Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus ; exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
12 that the king might desire your beauty. He is your lord;	12 Dominus virtutum nobiscum ; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
13 honor him, daughter of Tyre. Then the richest of the people will seek your favor with gifts.
14 All glorious is the king's daughter as she enters, her raiment threaded with gold;
15 In embroidered apparel she is led to the king. The maids of her train are presented to the king.
16 They are led in with glad and joyous acclaim; they enter the palace of the king.
17 The throne of your fathers your sons will have; you shall make them princes through all the land.
18 I will make your name renowned through all generations; thus nations shall praise you forever.
