1 ك َلامٌ حُلوٌ يَملأُ قَلبِي، وَأنا أكتُبُهُ للِمَلِكِ. مِنْ لِسانِي تَتَدَفَّقُ الكَلِماتُ كَما مِنْ قَلَمِ كاتِبٍ مُبدِعٍ.

My heart flows over with good words. I sing my songs to the King. My tongue writes the words of a good writer.

2 ف ُقْتَ كُلَّ البَشَرِ جَمالاً. وَمِنْ فَمِكَ يَخرُجُ كَلامٌ رائِعٌ! لِهَذا بارَكَكَ اللهُ إلَى الأبَدِ! ضَعْ زِيَّكَ المَجِيدَ!

You are more beautiful than the children of men. Loving-favor is poured upon Your lips. So God has honored You forever.

3 ت َقَلَّدْ سَيفَكَ عَلَى فَخذِكَ، ما أبهاكَ فِي ثِيابِ الجَلالِ!

Put Your sword on at Your side, O Powerful One, in Your greatness and power that can be seen.

4 ا ركَبْ وَامْضِ إلَى أعْمالِ الحَقِّ وَالنَّصرِ العَظِيمِ! يَمِينُكَ قَدْ تَدَرَّبَتْ عَلَى أعمالٍ مُهِيبَةٍ.

And in Your great power, move on to win the fight for truth and for not having pride and for what is right and good. Let Your right hand teach You to do great things.

5 س ِهامُكَ المَسنُونَةُ، تَطِيرُ مُباشَرَةً إلَى قَلبِ أعداءِ المَلِكِ، فَتَتَساقَطُ شُعُوبٌ تَحتَ قَدَمَيكَ.

Your arrows are sharp. The people fall under You. Your arrows are in the heart of those who hate the King.

6 ع َرشُكَ يا اللهُ باقٍ إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ، بِصَولَجانِ الاستِقامَةِ سَتَحكُمُ مَملَكَتَكَ.

O God, Your throne is forever and ever. You rule Your holy nation by what is right.

7 أ حبَبْتَ البِرَّ، وَكَرِهْتَ الإثمَ. لِهَذا مَسَحَكَ اللهُ إلَهُكَ بِزَيتِ الابتِهاجِ أكثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ رِفاقِكَ.

You have loved what is right and good. You have hated what is wrong. That is why God, Your God, has chosen You. He has poured over You the oil of joy more than over anyone else.

8 م ِنْ ثِيابِكَ يَفُوحُ المُرُّ وَالصَّبرُ وَالسّنا وَفِي قُصُورٍ مُزَيَّنَةٍ بِالعاجِ يُكَرِّمُكَ العازِفُونَ.

All Your clothes smell of fine perfumes. Out of ivory palaces music of strings have made You glad.

9 ه ُناكَ أمِيراتٌ بَينَ سَيِّداتِ بَلاطِكَ. وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ تَقِفُ المَلِكَةُ وَعَلَى رَأسِها تاجٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ نَقِيٍّ.

Daughters of kings are among Your women of honor. At Your right hand stands the queen, wearing gold from Ophir.

10 أ يَّتُها الفَتاةُ العَزِيزَةُ، اسْمَعِينِي. انتَبِهِي وَافهَمِي، انسَيْ شَعبَكِ وَبَيْتَ أبِيكِ.

Listen, O daughter, hear my words and think about them. Forget your people and your father’s house.

11 ف َالمَلِكُ يَشتَهِي جَمالَكِ. هُوَ الآنَ سَيِّدُكِ، فَانحَنِي لَهُ!

Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.

12 ش َعبُ صُورَ الَّذِي هُوَ أغنَى الشُّعُوبِ، سَيَأتِي بِهَدايا لِيَستَرضِيَ وَجهَكِ.

And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift. The rich people will ask for your favor.

13 ب ِنْتُ المَلِكِ غايَةٌ فِي البَهاءِ لِباسُها مُزَخْرَفٌ بِالذَّهَبِ.

The daughter of the King is beautiful within. Her clothes are made with gold.

14 ت ُزَفُّ إلَى المَلِكِ فِي رِدائِها المَنسُوجِ الجَمِيلِ. تَتبَعُها صاحِباتُها العَذارَى اللَّواتِي أُحْضِرْنَ مَعَها.

She will be led to the King in clothes sewed for beauty. The young women who have never had men are her friends. They follow her and will be brought to You.

15 ي ُحْضَرْنَ بِفَرَحٍ وَابتِهاجٍ لِيَدخُلنَ قَصرَ المَلِكِ.

They will be led in with joy and happiness, because they will come into the King’s palace.

16 ي َكُونُ لَكَ أبناءٌ كَثِيرُونَ يا مَلِكِي وَرَثَةً لِعَرشِ آبائِكَ، يَكُونُونَ أُمَراءَ عَبرَ الأرْضِ.

Instead of Your fathers, it will be Your sons whom You will make rulers over all the earth.

17 ل أجيالٍ قادِمَةٍ سَأُعَرِّفُ باسمِكَ. فَتُسَبِّحُكَ إلَى الأبَدِ شُعُوبٌ كَثِيرَةٌ.

I will make Your name to be remembered to all the children-to-come. So that the nations will honor You forever and ever.
