TranslationPsalm 44My tongue is the pen of a scribe who writes swiftly My heart HAS THROWN UP a good/ word: I tell/ my works to the king./ My tongue is the pen/ of a scribe/ who writes swiftly./ Splendid in appearance/ in comparison with the sons of men:/ grace is poured out in your lips: therefore has/ god blessed you for ever./ Be armed with your sword on your thigh:/ most mighty one./ With your beauty and your fairness:/ intend go forward successfully and reign./ Because of truth and mildness and justice:/ and your right hand shall conduct you wonderfully./ Your sharp arrows: the peoples underneath you shall fall/ into the hearts of the kings’ enemies./ Your seat god for ever and ever: a rod of uprightness is a rod of your kingdom./ |
