To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil45:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term of Ps. 42, titlethe Sons of Korah; a love song.
1 My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of [Ezra 7:6]a ready scribe.
2 You are [Isa. 33:17] the most handsome of the sons of men;
[Luke 4:22]; See Isa. 61:1-3grace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Ex. 32:27Gird your [Isa. 49:2;Heb. 4:12;Rev. 1:16;19:15] sword on your thigh, O [Ps. 24:8;Isa. 9:6] mighty one,
in Ps. 21:5;96:6,7your splendor and majesty!
4 In your majesty [Rev. 16:2] ride out victoriously
for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
let your right hand teach you See Ps. 65:5awesome deeds!
5 Your arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king’s enemies;
the peoples fall under you.
6 Ps. 93:2;110:2;Cited Heb. 1:8,9Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The [Ps. 67:4;96:10]scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
7 See Ps. 11:7you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore Isa. 61:1God, your God, has Ps. 2:2;1 Kgs. 1:39;[Acts 10:38] anointed you
with the oil of [Ps. 21:6] gladness [1 Kgs. 3:13]beyond your companions;
8 your robes are all fragrant with John 19:39;[Matt. 2:11] myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces Ps. 150:4stringed instruments make you glad;
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
[1 Kgs. 2:19;Neh. 2:6] at your right hand stands the queen in See Job 28:16gold of Ophir.
10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
forget your people and your father’s house,
11 and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your Isa. 54:5lord, Ps. 95:6bow to him.
12 The people45:12 Hebrew daughter of Tyre will [Job 11:19] seek your favor with Ps. 96:8gifts,
Ps. 22:29;68:29;72:10;Isa. 49:7the richest of the people.45:12 Or The daughter of Tyre is here with gifts, the richest of people seek your favor

14 [Judg. 5:30;Ezek. 16:18;26:16] In many-colored robes [Song 1:4]she is led to the king,
with her virgin companions following behind her.
15 With joy and gladness they are led along
as they enter the palace of the king.
16 In place of your fathers shall be your sons;
you will make them 1 Pet. 2:9;Rev. 1:6;5:10;20:6princes in all the earth.
17 [Mal. 1:11]I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;
therefore nations will praise you forever and ever.
