¹My 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.

¹Zborovođi. Po napjevu "Ljiljani". Sinova Korahovih. Poučna pjesma. Svadbena pjesma.

²Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

²Iz srca mi naviru riječi divne: pjesmu svoju ja kralju pjevam, jezik mi je k'o pisaljka hitra pisara.

³Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

³Lijep si, najljepši od ljudskih sinova, po usnama ti se milina prosula, stoga te Bog blagoslovio dovijeka.

⁴And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

⁴Pripaši mač uz bedra, junače, ogrni se sjajem i veličanstvom!

⁵Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

⁵Zajaši i kreni za istinu, za vjernost i pravdu, zapni luk i desnicu svoju proslavi!

⁶Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

⁶Oštre su strelice tvoje, narodi padaju pred tobom i kraljeve dušmane ostavlja hrabrost.

⁷Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

⁷Prijestolje je tvoje, Bože, u vijeke vjekova, i pravedno žezlo - žezlo je tvog kraljevstva!

⁸All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

⁸Ti ljubiš pravednost, a mrziš bezakonje, stoga Jahve, Bog tvoj, tebe pomaza uljem radosti kao nikog od tvojih drugova.

⁹Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

⁹Smirnom, alojem i kasijom mirišu ti haljine, iz dvorova bjelokosnih harfe te vesele.

¹⁰Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

¹⁰Kraljevske ti kćeri idu u susret, zdesna ti je kraljica u zlatu ofirskom.

¹¹So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

¹¹"Slušaj, kćeri, pogledaj, prisluhni: zaboravi svoj narod i dom oca svog!

¹²And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

¹²Zaželi li kralj ljepotu tvoju, smjerno se pokloni njemu jer je on gospodar tvoj.

¹³The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

¹³Narod tirski dolazi s darovima, naklonost tvoju traže prvaci naroda."

¹⁴She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

¹⁴Sva lijepa korača kći kraljeva u haljinama zlatom vezenim.

¹⁵With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

¹⁵U haljini od veza šarena kralju je dovode, pratnja su joj djevice, druge njezine.

¹⁶Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

¹⁶S veseljem ih vode i s klicanjem u kraljeve dvore ulaze.

¹⁷I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

¹⁷Oce tvoje naslijedit će tvoji sinovi, postavit ćeš ih knezovima na svoj zemlji.

¹⁸Iz koljena u koljeno naviještat će ime tvoje, hvalit će te narodi u vijeke vjekova.
