Psalms

1*Phần ca trưởng. Theo điệu : Những bông huệ. Của con cái ông Cô-rắc. Thi khúc. Tình ca.*

2lưỡi tôi ví tựa tay người phóng bút.

3nên ngài được Thiên Chúa ban phúc lành mãi mãi.

4Bảo kiếm hãy đeo lưng, này kiện tướng,

5Tay hữu ngài rắc gieo kinh hãi,

6địch thủ vương triều bị bắn trúng tim.

7vương trượng ngài, vương trượng công minh ;

8mà xức cho dầu thơm hoan lạc.

9nhã nhạc điện ngà khiến ngài vui thoả.

10trang điểm vàng Ô-phia lộng lẫy.

11quên dân tộc, quên đi nhà thân phụ.

12hãy vào phục lạy : “Người là Chúa của bà.”

13phú hào trong xứ đến cầu ân.

14mặc xiêm y dệt gấm thêu vàng,

15cùng các trinh nữ theo sau hầu cận.

16vẻ tưng bừng, vào tận hoàng cung.

17ngài phong làm vương bá khắp trần gian.

18tiếng ngợi ca bất tận muôn đời.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.

1My 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.

2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

9Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;

11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

13The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

14She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.

16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
