Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
1In finem, filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus.
2You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
2[Deus noster refugium et virtus; adjutor in tribulationibus quæ invenerunt nos nimis.
3Strap your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and your majesty.
3Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra, et transferentur montes in cor maris.
4In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
4Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum; conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus.
5Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.
5Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
6Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
6Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur; adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
7You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
7Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
8All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
8Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
9Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.
9Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram,
10Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.
10auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma, et scuta comburet igni.
11So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.
11Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus; exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
12The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.
12Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.]
13The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
