Psalm 45:8

tn The words “perfumed with” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

tn Heb “the palaces of ivory.” The phrase “palaces of ivory” refers to palaces that had ivory panels and furniture decorated with ivory inlays. Such decoration with ivory was characteristic of a high level of luxury. See 1 Kgs 22:39 and Amos 3:15.

tn Heb “from the palaces of ivory stringed instrument[s] make you happy.”
