Psalm 45:1

tn Heb “[with] a good word.” The “good word” probably refers here to the song that follows.

tn Heb “my works [are] for a king.” The plural “works” may here indicate degree, referring to the special musical composition that follows.

tn Heb “my tongue [is] a stylus of a skillful scribe.” Words flow from the psalmist’s tongue just as they do from a scribe’s stylus.
