44:1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding: A canticle for the beloved.
In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Filiis Core, ad intellectum. Canticum pro dilecto.

44:2 My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the king: My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly.
Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi. Lingua mea calamus scribæ velociter scribentis.

44:3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee for ever
Speciosus forma præ filiis hominum, diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: propterea benedixit te Deus in æternum.

44:4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.
Accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum, potentissime.

44:5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth, and meekness, and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
Specie tua et pulchritudine tua intende, prospere procede, et regna, propter veritatem, et mansuetudinem, et justitiam; et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua.

44:6 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king's enemies.
Sagittæ tuæ acutæ: populi sub te cadent, in corda inimicorum regis.

44:7 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
Sedes tua, Deus, in sæculum sæculi; virga directionis virga regni tui.

44:8 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem; propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo lætitiæ, præ consortibus tuis.

44:9 Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia, perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which
Myrrha, et gutta, et casia a vestimentis tuis, a domibus eburneis; ex quibus delectaverunt te

44:10 the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing: surrounded with variety.
filiæ regum in honore tuo. Astitit regina a dextris tuis in vestitu deaurato, circumdata varietate.

44:11 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father's house.
Audi, filia, et vide, et inclina aurem tuam; et obliviscere populum tuum, et domum patris tui.

44:12 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
Et concupiscet rex decorem tuum, quoniam ipse est Dominus Deus tuus, et adorabunt eum.

44:13 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
Et filiæ Tyri in muneribus vultum tuum deprecabuntur; omnes divites plebis.

44:14 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders,
Omnis gloria ejus filiæ regis ab intus, in fimbriis aureis,

44:15 clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
circumamicta varietatibus. Adducentur regi virgines post eam; proximæ ejus afferentur tibi.

44:16 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
Afferentur in lætitia et exsultatione; adducentur in templum regis.

44:17 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
Pro patribus tuis nati sunt tibi filii; constitues eos principes super omnem terram.

44:18 They shall remember thy name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
Memores erunt nominis tui in omni generatione et generationem: propterea populi confitebuntur tibi in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi.
