| א לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-שֹׁשַׁנִּים, לִבְנֵי-קֹרַח; מַשְׂכִּיל, שִׁיר יְדִידֹת. |
1 For the Leader; upon Shoshannim; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves. |
|
ב רָחַשׁ לִבִּי, דָּבָר טוֹב-- אֹמֵר אָנִי, מַעֲשַׂי לְמֶלֶךְ; לְשׁוֹנִי, עֵט סוֹפֵר מָהִיר. |
2 My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I say: 'My work is concerning a king'; {N} my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
|
ג יָפְיָפִיתָ, מִבְּנֵי אָדָם-- הוּצַק חֵן, בְּשִׂפְתוֹתֶיךָ; עַל-כֵּן בֵּרַכְךָ אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָם. |
3 Thou art fairer than the children of men; grace is poured upon thy lips; {N} therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. |
| ד חֲגוֹר-חַרְבְּךָ עַל-יָרֵךְ גִּבּוֹר-- הוֹדְךָ, וַהֲדָרֶךָ. |
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty. |
|
ה וַהֲדָרְךָ, צְלַח רְכַב-- עַל-דְּבַר-אֱמֶת, וְעַנְוָה-צֶדֶק; וְתוֹרְךָ נוֹרָאוֹת יְמִינֶךָ. |
5 And in thy majesty prosper, ride on, in behalf of truth and meekness and righteousness; {N} and let thy right hand teach thee tremendous things. |
| ו חִצֶּיךָ, שְׁנוּנִים: עַמִּים, תַּחְתֶּיךָ יִפְּלוּ; בְּלֵב, אוֹיְבֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ. |
6 Thine arrows are sharp--the peoples fall under thee--[they sink] into the heart of the king's enemies. |
| ז כִּסְאֲךָ אֱלֹהִים, עוֹלָם וָעֶד; שֵׁבֶט מִישֹׁר, שֵׁבֶט מַלְכוּתֶךָ. |
7 Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom. |
|
ח אָהַבְתָּ צֶּדֶק, וַתִּשְׂנָא-רֶשַׁע: עַל-כֵּן מְשָׁחֲךָ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ, שֶׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן-- מֵחֲבֵרֶךָ. |
8 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; {N} therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. |
| ט מֹר-וַאֲהָלוֹת קְצִיעוֹת, כָּל-בִּגְדֹתֶיךָ; מִן-הֵיכְלֵי שֵׁן, מִנִּי שִׂמְּחוּךָ. |
9 Myrrh, and aloes, and cassia are all thy garments; out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad. |
| י בְּנוֹת מְלָכִים, בְּיִקְּרוֹתֶיךָ; נִצְּבָה שֵׁגַל לִימִינְךָ, בְּכֶתֶם אוֹפִיר. |
10 Kings' daughters are among thy favourites; at thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir. |
| יא שִׁמְעִי-בַת וּרְאִי, וְהַטִּי אָזְנֵךְ; וְשִׁכְחִי עַמֵּךְ, וּבֵית אָבִיךְ. |
11 'Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; |
| יב וְיִתְאָו הַמֶּלֶךְ יָפְיֵךְ: כִּי-הוּא אֲדֹנַיִךְ, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִי-לוֹ. |
12 So shall the king desire thy beauty; for he is thy lord; and do homage unto him. |
| יג וּבַת-צֹר: בְּמִנְחָה, פָּנַיִךְ יְחַלּוּ--עֲשִׁירֵי עָם. |
13 And, O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people shall entreat thy favour with a gift.' |
| יד כָּל-כְּבוּדָּה בַת-מֶלֶךְ פְּנִימָה; מִמִּשְׁבְּצוֹת זָהָב לְבוּשָׁהּ. |
14 All glorious is the king's daughter within the palace; her raiment is of chequer work inwrought with gold. |
| טו לִרְקָמוֹת, תּוּבַל לַמֶּלֶךְ: בְּתוּלוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ, רֵעוֹתֶיהָ--מוּבָאוֹת לָךְ. |
15 She shall be led unto the king on richly woven stuff; the virgins her companions in her train being brought unto thee. |
| טז תּוּבַלְנָה, בִּשְׂמָחֹת וָגִיל; תְּבֹאֶינָה, בְּהֵיכַל מֶלֶךְ. |
16 They shall be led with gladness and rejoicing; they shall enter into the king's palace. |
| יז תַּחַת אֲבֹתֶיךָ, יִהְיוּ בָנֶיךָ; תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ לְשָׂרִים, בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ. |
17 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, whom thou shalt make princes in all the land. |
| יח אַזְכִּירָה שִׁמְךָ, בְּכָל-דֹּר וָדֹר; עַל-כֵּן עַמִּים יְהוֹדוּךָ, לְעֹלָם וָעֶד. | 18 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations; therefore shall the peoples praise thee for ever and ever. {P} |
