Vers | English: Douay-Rheims | English: King James Version |
1 | Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. | My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. |
2 | Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly. | Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. |
3 | Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea. | Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. |
4 | Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength. | And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. |
5 | The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle. | Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. |
6 | God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early. | Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. |
7 | Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled. | Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. |
8 | The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector. | All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. |
9 | Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth, | Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. |
10 | making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire. | Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; |
11 | Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth. | So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. |
12 | The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector. | And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. |
13 | The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. | |
14 | She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. | |
15 | With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. | |
16 | Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. | |
17 | I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. |
