Psalm 45:2
New Catholic Bible
2 [a]My heart[b] is moved by a noble theme
as I sing my poem to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of a skillful scribe.
Footnotes
- Psalm 45:2 The poet addresses the King-Messiah and applies to him attributes of Yahweh (see Ps 145:4-7, 12f, etc.) and of Immanuel (see Isa 9:5f; 11:3-5). He is urged to conduct himself in such a way that his reign will be adorned even more splendidly than the wedding vestments he has on (Ps 45:4-6). The best way he can do so is to make the glory of his kingdom consist in justice and righteousness (vv. 7-10).
- Psalm 45:2 Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.
