Psalm 44 in DRB = Psalm 45 in RV1909.
1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the sons of Core, for understanding. A canticle for the Beloved.
·
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.
45:1 Al Músico principal: sobre Sosannim: para los hijos de Coré: Masquil: Canción de amores. REBOSA mi corazón palabra buena: refiero yo al Rey mis obras: mi lengua es pluma de escribiente muy ligero.
3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
45:2 Haste hermoseado más que los hijos de los hombres; la gracia se derramó en tus labios: por tanto Dios te ha bendecido para siempre.
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.
45:3 Cíñete tu espada sobre el muslo, oh valiente, con tu gloria y con tu majestad.
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.
45:4 Y en tu gloria sé prosperado: cabalga sobre palabra de verdad, y de humildad, [y] de justicia; y tu diestra te enseñará cosas terribles.
6 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, into the hearts of the king’s enemies.
45:5 Tus saetas agudas [con que] caerán pueblos debajo de ti, [penetrarán] en el corazón de los enemigos del Rey.
7 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
45:6 Tu trono, oh Dios, eterno y para siempre: vara de justicia la vara de tu reino.
8 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
45:7 Amaste la justicia y aborreciste la maldad: por tanto te ungió Dios, el Dios tuyo, con óleo de gozo sobre tus compañeros.
9 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which
45:8 Mirra, áloe, y casia [exhalan] todos tus vestidos: en estancias de marfil te han recreado.
10 The daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety.
45:9 Hijas de reyes entre tus ilustres: está la reina á tu diestra con oro de Ophir.
11 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father’s house.
45:10 Oye, hija, y mira, é inclina tu oído; y olvida tu pueblo, y la casa de tu padre;
12 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
45:11 Y deseará el rey tu hermosura: é inclínate á él, porque él es tu Señor.
13 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
45:12 Y las hijas de Tiro [vendrán] con presente; implorarán tu favor los ricos del pueblo.
14 All the glory of the king’s daughter is within in golden borders,
45:13 Toda ilustre es de dentro la hija del rey: de brocado de oro es su vestido.
15 Clothed round about with varieties. After her shall virgins be brought to the king: her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
45:14 Con [vestidos] bordados será llevada al rey; vírgenes en pos de ella: sus compañeras serán traídas á ti.
16 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
45:15 Serán traídas con alegría y gozo: entrarán en el palacio del rey.
17 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
45:16 En lugar de tus padres serán tus hijos, á quienes harás príncipes en toda la tierra.
18 They shall remember thy name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
45:17 Haré [perpetua] la memoria de tu nombre en todas las generaciones: por lo cual te alabarán los pueblos eternamente y para siempre.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 45.
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This Psalm is addressed "to the sons of Korah," as its title shows. Now Korah is equivalent to the word baldness; and we find in the Gospel that our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified in "the place of a skull." It is clear then that this Psalm is sung to the "sons of His Passion.'" Now we have on this …

But our Lord is Himself the resurrection, as He does Himself declare, "I am the resurrection and the life." But the fathers are His children; for it is said by the prophet: "Instead of thy fathers, thy children have been made to thee." Christ Himself, therefore, together with the Father, is the God of the living, who spake to Moses, …
Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of exultation above Thy fellows;" that is, plainly, Christ above Christians.

Of this therefore the prophet discourses unto her, and saith, "Forget thy people, and thy father's house, so shall the king have pleasure in thy beauty." This Ruth did too, and because of this she became a mother of kings, even as the Church did likewise.

And for this reason, methinks, the Psalmist says to mankind, Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house, whom thou hast chosen for a father, whom thou hast drawn upon thyself to thy destruction.
