This is a special song that the sons of Korah wrote for the music leader. Sing it to the music that they call ‘Lilies.’

A love song[a]

45 This beautiful song makes my heart very happy.
    I will sing this special poem to the king.
My voice is ready to sing it very well,
    as well as a clever writer can write with a pen.

You are the most handsome man that there is.
    You speak kind words in a beautiful way.
And so God will continue to bless you for ever.

Footnotes

  1. 45:1 The king in verses 2-9 was the king of Judah or Israel. A king like this was called ‘Messiah’, because God had chosen him to rule his people. The queen in verses 10-15 was the woman that the king married. Christians also know that Jesus is the true Messiah. His ‘queen’ or ‘bride’ is the church, the people that belong to him. Verses 2-9 are words that the writer says to the king. Verses 10-12 are words that the writer says to the queen.
