1 To the chiefe musition (on the instrument) Sosannim (to be song of the) children of Corach. A song of loue, geuyng wise instructions. My heart is endityng of a good matter: I wyll dedicate my workes vnto the king, my tongue is as the penne of a redy writer. My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. A wedding song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2 Thou art fayrer then the children of men, full of grace are thy lippes: because the Lorde hath blessed thee for euer. You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever. You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.
3 Girde thee with thy sworde vpon thy thygh O thou most mightie: that is with thy glorie and thy maiestie. Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and majesty! Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
4 Prosper thou with thy maiestie, ryde on the worde of trueth and of affliction for ryghteousnesse sake: and thy ryght hande shall teache thee terrible thynges. In your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand teach you awesome deeds! In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.
5 Thyne arrowes are sharpe: a people the kynges enemies shall submit in heart them selues vnto thee. Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; the peoples fall under you. Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 Thy throne O Lorde endureth for euer and euer: the scepter of ryghteousnesse is the scepter of thy kyngdome. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness; Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
7 Thou hast loued iustice and hated vngodlynesse: wherfore the Lorde euen thy Lorde hath annoynted thee with the oyle of gladnesse more then thy felowes. you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions; You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.
8 All thy garmentes smell of Myrre, Aloes, and Cassia, out of the iuorie palaces: wherby they haue made thee glad. your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad; All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.
9 Kynges daughters are amongst thy honourable women: vpon thy ryght hande standeth the queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir. daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir. Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken O daughter and consider, encline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house. Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear: forget your people and your father’s house, Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention: Forget your people and your father’s house.
11 So shall the kyng haue pleasure in thy beautie: for he is thy Lorde, and worship thou hym. and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him. Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall come with a present: the riche among the people shall make their earnest prayer before thee. The people of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts, the richest of the people. The city of Tyre will come with a gift, people of wealth will seek your favor.
13 The kynges daughter is all glorious within: her clothyng is of wrought golde. All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. All glorious is the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold.
14 She shalbe brought vnto the kyng in rayment of needle worke: the virgins that folowe her and her company shalbe brought vnto thee. In many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions following behind her. In embroidered garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her— those brought to be with her.
15 With ioy and gladnesse shall they be brought: and shal enter into the kinges palace. With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king. Led in with joy and gladness, they enter the palace of the king.
16 In steade of thy fathers, thou shalt haue children: whom thou mayst make princes in all landes. In place of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth. Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17 I wyll remember thy name from one generation vnto another: therfore shall the people prayse thee worlde without ende. I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore nations will praise you forever and ever. I will perpetuate your memory through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.
