45:1My heart is stirred by a beautiful song.1
I say, “I have composed this special song2 for the king;
my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe.”3
Footnotes
- 1 Heb “[with] a good word.” The “good word” probably refers here to the song that follows.
- 2 Heb “my works [are] for a king.” The plural “works” may here indicate degree, referring to the special musical composition that follows.
- 3 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.
