Lamnatzei'ach al shoshanim livnei Korach maskil shir yedidot.

For the leader; on shoshannim. Of the Korahites. A maskil. A love song.

Rachash libi davar tov, omer ani ma'asai lemelech, leshoni et sofer mahir.

My heart is astir with gracious words; I speak my poem to a king; my tongue is the pen of an expert scribe.

יָפְיָפִיתָ מִבְּנֵי אָדָם הוּצַק חֵן בְּשִׂפְתוֹתֶיךָ עַל־כֵּן בֵּרַכְךָ אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָם׃

Gird your sword upon your thigh, O hero, in your splendor and glory;

וַהֲדָרְךָ צְלַח רְכַב עַל־דְּבַר־אֱמֶת וְעַנְוָה־צֶדֶק וְתוֹרְךָ נוֹרָאוֹת יְמִינֶךָ׃

Vahadarcha tzelach rechav al devar emet ve'anva tzedek, vetorcha nora'ot yeminecha.

in your glory, win success; ride on in the cause of truth and meekness and right; and let your right hand lead you to awesome deeds.

חִצֶּיךָ שְׁנוּנִים עַמִּים תַּחְתֶּיךָ יִפְּלוּ בְּלֵב אוֹיְבֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃

Your arrows, sharpened, [pierce] the breast of the king's enemies; peoples fall at your feet.

כִּסְאֲךָ אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶד שֵׁבֶט מִישֹׁר שֵׁבֶט מַלְכוּתֶךָ׃

Kis'acha Elohim olam va'ed, shevet mishor shevet malchutecha.

Your divine throne is everlasting; your royal scepter is a scepter of equity.

אָהַבְתָּ צֶּדֶק וַתִּשְׂנָא רֶשַׁע עַל־כֵּן מְשָׁחֲךָ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ שֶׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן מֵחֲבֵרֶיךָ׃

Ahavta tzedek vatisna resha, al ken meshachacha Elohim Elohecha shemen sason mechavereicha.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness; rightly has God, your God, chosen to anoint you with oil of gladness over all your peers.

מֹר־וַאֲהָלוֹת קְצִיעוֹת כָּל־בִּגְדֹתֶיךָ מִן־הֵיכְלֵי שֵׁן מִנִּי שִׂמְּחוּךָ׃

Mor va'ahalot ketzi'ot kol bigdotecha, min heichlei shen mini simechuch.

All your robes [are fragrant] with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from ivory palaces, lutes entertain you.

בְּנוֹת מְלָכִים בְּיִקְּרוֹתֶיךָ נִצְּבָה שֵׁגַל לִימִינְךָ בְּכֶתֶם אוֹפִיר׃

Benot melachim beyikerotecha, nitzeva shegal limincha becetem Ofir.

Royal princesses are your favorites; the consort stands at your right hand, decked in gold of Ophir.

שִׁמְעִי־בַת וּרְאִי וְהַטִּי אָזְנֵךְ וְשִׁכְחִי עַמֵּךְ וּבֵית אָבִיךְ׃

Shim'i vat ur'i vehati oznech, veshichechi amech uveit avich.

Take heed, O daughter, and note, incline your ear: forget your people and your father's house,

וְיִתְאָו הַמֶּלֶךְ יָפְיֵךְ כִּי־הוּא אֲדֹנַיִךְ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִי־לוֹ׃

Veyit'av hamelech yofyech, ki hu adonayich vehishtachavi lo.
