| To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah a love song. | Royal Wedding Song. Psalm 45(v44) | לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־שֹׁשַׁנִּים לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מַשְׂכִּיל שִׁיר יְדִידֹת׃ | |
| 45 1 | My heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. | רָחַשׁ לִבִּי דָּבָר טֹוב אֹמֵר אָנִי מַעֲשַׂי לְמֶלֶךְ לְשֹׁונִי עֵט סֹופֵר מָהִיר׃ | |
| 2 | You are the fairest of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you for ever. | יָפְיָפִיתָ מִבְּנֵי אָדָם הוּצַק חֵן בְּשְׂפְתֹותֶיךָ עַל־כֵּן בֵּרַךְךָ אֱלֹהִים לְעֹולָם׃ | |
| 3 | Gird your sword upon your thigh, O mighty one, in your glory and majesty! | חֲגֹור־חַרְבְּךָ עַל־יָרֵךְ גִּבֹּור הֹודְךָ וַהֲדָרֶךָ׃ | |
| 4 | In your majesty ride forth victoriously for the cause of truth and to defend the right; let your right hand teach you dread deeds! | וַהֲדָרְכָ צְלַח רְכַב עַל־דְּבַר־אֱמֶת וְעַנְוָה־צֶדֶק וְתֹורְךָ נֹורָאֹות יְמִינֶךָ׃ | |
| 5 | Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you. | חִצֶּיךָ שְׁנוּנִים עַמִּים תַּחְתֶּיךָ יִפְּלוּ בְּלֵב אֹויְבֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ | |
| 6 | Your divine throne endures for ever and ever. Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity; | כִּסְאֲךָ אֱלֹהִים עֹולָם וָעֶד שֵׁבֶט מִישֹׁר שֵׁבֶט מַלְכוּתֶךָ׃ | |
| 7 | you love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows; | אָהַבְתָּ צֶּדֶק וַתִּשְׂנָא רֶשַׁע עַל־כֵּן מְשָׁחֲךָ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ שֶׁמֶן שָׂשֹׂון מֵחֲבֵרֶיךָ׃ | |
| 8 | your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; | מֹר־וַאֲהָלֹות קְצִיעֹות כָּל־בִּגְדֹתֶיךָ מִן־הֵיכְלֵי שֵׁן מִנִּי שִׂמְּחוּךָ׃ | |
| 9 | daughters of kings are among your ladies of honour; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir. | בְּנֹות מְלָכִים בְּיִקְּרֹותֶיךָ נִצְּבָה שֵׁגַל לִימִינְךָ בְּכֶתֶם אֹופִיר׃ | |
| 10 | Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear; forget your people and your father's house; | שִׁמְעִי־בַת וּרְאִי וְהַטִּי אָזְנֵךְ וְשִׁכְחִי עַמֵּךְ וּבֵית אָבִיךְ׃ | |
| 11 | and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him; | וְיִתְאָו הַמֶּלֶךְ יָפְיֵךְ כִּי־הוּא אֲדֹנַיִךְ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִי־לֹו׃ | |
| 12 | the people of Tyre will sue your favour with gifts, the richest of the people with all kinds of wealth. | וּבַת־צֹר בְּמִנְחָה פָּנַיִךְ יְחַלּוּ עֲשִׁירֵי עָם׃ | |
| 13 | The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes; | כָּל־כְּבוּדָּה בַת־מֶלֶךְ פְּנִימָה מִמִּשְׁבְּצֹות זָהָב לְבוּשָׁהּ׃ | |
| 14 | in many-coloured robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions, her escort, in her train. | לִרְקָמֹות תּוּבַל לַמֶּלֶךְ בְּתוּלֹות אַחֲרֶיהָ רֵעֹותֶיהָ מוּבָאֹות לָךְ׃ | |
| 15 | With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king. | תּוּבַלְנָה בִּשְׂמָחֹת וָגִיל תְּבֹאֶינָה בְּהֵיכַל מֶלֶךְ׃ | |
| 16 | Instead of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth. | תַּחַת אֲבֹתֶיךָ יִהְיוּ בָנֶיךָ תְּשִׁיתֵמֹו לְשָׂרִים בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 17 | I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you for ever and ever. | אַזְכִּירָה שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל־דֹּר וָדֹר עַל־כֵּן עַמִּים יְהֹודֻךָ לְעֹלָם וָעֶד׃ | |
