1To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil[1] of the Sons of Korah; a love song. My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. (عز 7:6; مز 42:1)2You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever. (إش 33:17; إش 61:1; لو 4:22)3Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and majesty! (خر 32:27; مز 21:5; مز 24:8; مز 96:6; إش 9:6; إش 49:2; عب 4:12; رؤ 1:16; رؤ 19:15)4In your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand teach you awesome deeds! (مز 65:5; رؤ 16:2)5Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; the peoples fall under you.6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness; (مز 67:4; مز 93:2; مز 96:10; مز 110:2; عب 1:8)7you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions; (1مل 1:39; 1مل 3:13; مز 2:2; مز 11:7; مز 21:6; إش 61:1; أع 10:38)8your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; (مز 150:4; مت 2:11; يو 19:39)9daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir. (1مل 2:19; نح 2:6; أي 28:16)10Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear: forget your people and your father’s house,11and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him. (مز 95:6; إش 54:5)12The people[2] of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts, the richest of the people.[3] (أي 11:19; مز 22:29; مز 68:29; مز 72:10; مز 96:8; إش 49:7)13All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. (رؤ 19:7)14In many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions following behind her. (قض 5:30; نش 1:4; حز 16:18; حز 26:16)15With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.16In place of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth. (1بط 2:9; رؤ 1:6; رؤ 5:10; رؤ 20:6)17I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore nations will praise you forever and ever. (ملا 1:11)
