Tehillim 45:6-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. (7) Thy kisse (throne), O Elohim, is olam va'ed; the shevet (sceptre) of Thy Malchut is a shevet of uprightness.

7. (8) Thou lovest tzedek, and hatest resha; therefore Elohim, Eloheicha, hath anointed Thee with shemen sasson (the oil of gladness) above Thy chaverim.

8. (9) All Thy robes smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia; out of the ivory heikhalim stringed instruments have made Thee glad.

9. (10) Banot Melachim were among Thy ladies of honor; upon Thy Yamin (Right Hand) is stationed the Shegal (Queen consort, spouse of the reigning monarch) in golden jewelry of Ophir.

10. (11) Pay heed, O Bat (daughter), and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy Bais Avi;

11. (12) Then shall HaMelech be enthralled with thy beauty; since He is thy Adon, hishtachavi lo (bow to Him).

12. (13) And the Bat Tzor (Tyre) shall be there with a minchah (gift); even the ashirim (rich ones) among the people shall entreat thy favor.

13. (14) The Bat Melech is all glorious within; her clothing is zahav embroidered.

14. (15) She shall be brought unto HaMelech in woven apparel; the betulot (virgins), her companions that follow her, shall be brought unto Thee.

15. (16) With simchah and gladness shall they be led forth; they shall enter into the Heikhal Melech.

16. (17) Instead of thy avot shall be thy sons, whom thou mayest make sarim (princes) in kol ha'aretz.

17. (18) I will make Thy Shem to be remembered kol dor vador; therefore shall the Amim (nations) praise Thee l'olam va'ed.
