Psalms 45:1

My heart {H3820} is inditing {H7370}{H8804)} a good {H2896} matter {H1697}: I speak {H559}{H8802)} of the things which I have made {H4639} touching the king {H4428}: my tongue {H3956} is the pen {H5842} of a ready {H4106} writer {H5608}{H8802)}.

For the leader. Set to "Lilies." By the descendants of Korach. A maskil. A lovesong: My heart is stirred by a noble theme; I address my verses to the king; My tongue is the pen of an expert scribe.

My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
