1 Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, [like] the pen of a scribe who is skilled. 2Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age-abiding. 3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, [’Tis] thine honour and thy majesty; 4And, [in] thy majesty, be successful! ride forth! on behalf of faithfulness, and humility—righteousness, And let thine own right hand show thee wonderful things. 5Thine arrows, are sharp—Peoples, under thee, fall! In the heart of the foes of the king.

6Thy throne, O God, is to times age-abiding and beyond, A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 7Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness,—For this cause, hath God, thine own God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, beyond thy partners. 8Myrrh and aloes, cassias, all thy garments,—Out of the palaces of ivory, the tones of strings, have rejoiced thee. 9Daughters of kings, are among thine honourable women, Stationed is the bride at thy right hand, in gold of Ophir.

10Hearken, O daughter, and observe, Incline also thine ear, Forget, then, thine own people, And the house of thy father; 11When the king shall desire thy beauty, Surely, he, is thy lord, then bow down to him. 12Also, the daughter of Tyre, [cometh in] with a present! Thy face, shall the rich of the people appease. 13All glorious—the daughter of a king [sitteth] within, Brocades, wrought with gold, [are] her clothing! 14In embroidered raiment, shall she be brought unto the king—The virgins that follow her, her companions, are to be conducted unto thee: 15They shall be brought, with rejoicings and exultation,—They shall enter into the palace of the king! 16Instead of thy fathers, be thy sons, Thou shalt make them rulers in all the earth. 17I will keep in remembrance thy Name, through each succeeding generation, For this cause, peoples, shall praise thee, to times age-abiding and beyond.
