Parallel
Psalms 45
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
For the Leader; upon Shoshannim; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A Song of loves.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil (note: Maskil is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 32, 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, and 142.) of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king (note: Or King; here and throughout Psalm 45); my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I say: 'My work is concerning a king'; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
