PSALM

Chapter 45

A Royal Wedding Song

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the Son of Korah, Maschil, A Song of Love

The Royal Bridegroom, Christ

• 1. MY heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
  
  • Hebrew
    • רָחַשׁ לִבִּי דָּבָר טוֹב אֹמֵר אָנִי מַעֲשַׂי לְמֶלֶךְ לְשׁוֹנִי עֵט סוֹפֵר מָהִיר׃
• 2. Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips; therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
  
  • Hebrew
    • יָפְיָפִיתָ מִבְּנֵי אָדָם הוּצַק חֵן בְּשְׂפְתוֹתֶיךָ עַל־כֵּן בֵּרַכְךָ אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָם׃
• 3. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
  
  • Hebrew
    • חֲגוֹר־חַרְבְּךָ עַל־ יָרֵךְ גִּבּוֹר הוֹדְךָ וַהֲדָרֶךָ׃
• 4.↓ And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness, and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
  
  • Hebrew
    • וַהֲדָרְךָ צְלַח רְכַב עַל־דְּבַר־אֱמֶת וְעַנְוָה־ צֶדֶק וְתוֹרְךָ נוֹרָאוֹת יְמִינֶךָ׃
  • Notes
    • ° When I first read this in the KJV, I was thinking how could Christ do a terrible thing with his right hand
      ° I then looked at the Amplified version and it said awesome things. So, that made me curious
      ° How can this be translated so differently
      ° I then looked at the Strong's Concordance. It had several definiations. But how to pick the correct one
      ° After researching the difference between the verb type Qal, Niphal, and Piel, I determined that Niphal version was the correct usage
      ° Becasue the Hebrew word נוֹרָאוֹת began with the letter נ
      ° Niphalְ נ prefix; Pathach stem vowel
      ° https://hebrew.billmounce.com/BasicsBiblicalHebrew-12.pdf page 3.
      ° (Niphal)
      
      1. to be fearful, be dreadful, be feared
      2. to cause astonishment and awe, be held in awe
      3. to inspire reverence or godly fear or awe
      ° So, this should say "Thy right hand shall teach thee to inspire reverence or godly fear or awe."
      ° Much better
      
      
• 5. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
  
  • Hebrew
    • חִצֶּיךָ שְׁנוּנִים עַמִּים תַּחְתֶּיךָ יִפְּלוּ בְּלֵב אוֹיְבֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
• 6. Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
  
  • Hebrew
    • כִּסְאֲךָ אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶד שֵׁבֶט מִישֹׁר שֵׁבֶט מַלְכוּתֶךָ׃
• 7. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above the fellows.
  
  • Hebrew
    • אָהַבְתָּ צֶּדֶק וַתִּשְׂנָא רֶשַׁע עַל־כֵּן מְשָׁחֲךָ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֶיךָ שֶׁמֶן שָׂשׂוֹן מֵחֲבֵרֶיךָ׃
• 8. All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
  
  • Hebrew
    • מֹר־וַאֲהָלוֹת קְצִיעוֹת כָּל־בִּגְדֹתֶיךָ מִן־הֵיכְלֵי שֵׁן מִנִּי שִׂמְּחוּךָ׃
• 9. Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
  
  • Hebrew
    • בְּנוֹת מְלָכִים בְּיִקְּרוֹתֶיךָ נִצְּבָה שֵׁגַל לִימִינְךָ בְּכֶתֶם אוֹפִיר

The Royal Bride, the Church
