Psalms 45:1

NET Bible® (New English Translation)

For the music director; according to the tune of“Lilies;” by the Korahites, a well-written poem, a love song. My heart is stirred by a beautiful song. I say,“I have composed this special song for the king; my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe.”
