Ezechiele 23:25
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Psalms 45:2-8
2
You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.
3
Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.
4
In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.
5
Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king's enemies.
6
Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.
7
You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8
All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.
