The Voice

Psalm 45

For the worship leader. A contemplative song[a] of the sons of Korah to the tune “The Lilies.”[b] A love song.

1 My heart is bursting with a new song;
    lyrics to my king erupt like a spring
    for my king, to my king;
    my tongue is the pen of a poet, ready and willing.

2 Better by far are you than all others, my king;
    gracious words flow from your lips;
    indeed, God has blessed you forever.
