**Title. For the sons of Korah** = By, &c. The third of nine so ascribed. See Title, [Psalms 42](../../../kjv/psalms/42) , and App-63 .
**Maschil** = giving instruction. The fourth of thirteen so named. See Title, [Psalms 32](../../../kjv/psalms/32) , and App-65 .
**A Song.** Hebrew *shir,* as in [Psalms 18](../../../kjv/psalms/18) . See App-65 . **loves.** Probably plural of majesty = significant love. If in connection with the marriage of Hezekiah ([2 Kings 21:1](../../../kjv/2-kings/21/1) and [Isaiah 62:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/62/4) ), its place here is accounted for between [Psalms 4](../../../kjv/psalms/4) 4Â-48. Significant, because of its fulfilmentin Messiah ([Revelation 19:7](../../../kjv/revelation/19/7) . Compare [Isaiah 54:5-8](../../../kjv/isaiah/54/5-8) ). Hephzi-bah ([Isaiah 62:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/62/4) ) was the wife of Hezekiah.
**inditing** = bubbling up: i.e. running over, or overflowing with.
**matter** = theme.
**is.** Supply Ellipsis: "tongue [is like] the pen".
**ready:** i.e. with readiness of mind in respect of the subject treated of.

**fairer:** i.e. in His glory which follows the suffering described in [Isaiah 52:14](../../../kjv/isaiah/52/14) ; [Isaiah 53:2](../../../kjv/isaiah/53/2) .
**children** = sons.
**men.** Hebrew. *'adam.* App-14 .
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 .

**most mighty** = mighty One. *Hebrew gibbor.* With thy glory. Supply *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ), by repeating "[Gird thee] with Thy glory".

**Because** = On behalf.

**heart.** Put by Figure of speech *Metonymy* (of Adjunct), for "in the midst".
**people** = peoples.

**Thy throne, O God.** Quoted in [Hebrews 1:8](../../../kjv/hebrews/1/8) , [Hebrews 1:9](../../../kjv/hebrews/1/9) . Several attempts are made by certain commentators to get rid of this reference to Christ's Godhead; but not only would [Hebrews 1:8](../../../kjv/hebrews/1/8) , [Hebrews 1:9](../../../kjv/hebrews/1/9) have to go, but [Isaiah 9:6](../../../kjv/isaiah/9/6) , and [Jeremiah 23:6](../../../kjv/jeremiah/23/6) ; [Jeremiah 33:16](../../../kjv/jeremiah/33/16) as well.
**kingdom.** Compare Psa 20:21 , Psa 20:24 .[Luke 1:31-33](../../../kjv/luke/1/31-33) , &c.

**wickedness** = lawlessness. Hebrew. *rasha'.* App-44 .
**anointed.** Hence His name Messiah (Greek. Christ) = the anointed one.
**fellows** = companions.

**All.** Supply *Ellipsis* : "[So that] all".
**myrrh, and aloes.** Compare [Exodus 30:23](../../../kjv/exodus/30/23) , [Exodus 30:24](../../../kjv/exodus/30/24) .[John 12:3](../../../kjv/john/12/3) ; [John 19:39](../../../kjv/john/19/39) .

**honourable women.** Courtladies. English = maids of honour.
**did** = doth.
**the queen.** Type, Past, Hephzi-bah ([2 Kings 21:1](../../../kjv/2-kings/21/1) .[Isaiah 62:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/62/4); [Isaiah 62:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/62/4) ); antitype, future, Israel, the bride of Messiah ([Isaiah 54:5-8](../../../kjv/isaiah/54/5-8) ; Isa 62:45 ). Compare [Revelation 19:7](../../../kjv/revelation/19/7) .

**consider** = see plainly, or observe.
**Forget also thine own people.** As did Rebekah ([Genesis 24:58](../../../kjv/genesis/24/58) ), and Rachel ([Genesis 31:14](../../../kjv/genesis/31/14) ), and Asenath ([Genesis 41:45](../../../kjv/genesis/41/45) ), and Ruth ( Psa 1:16 ).

**daughter of Tyre.** Either the queen of Tyre, or the people of Tyre personified.
**shall be there.** Figure of speech *Ellipsis* (Complex), Supply both clauses, repeating the verbs thus: "the daughter of Tyre [shall entreat thy favour] with a gift; even the rich among the people shall [come] and entreat thy favour". See note on [2 Chronicles 32:23](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/32/23) .

**is.** The *Ellipsis* better supplied thus: "all glorious [sitteth enthroned] within". These Ellipses are caused by the bubbling over of the inditing heart, which is too quick for the pen.
**all glorious** = nothing but glory. Compare [Isaiah 4:5](../../../kjv/isaiah/4/5) .
**within:** i.e. in the inner palace; not internally.

**raiment of needlework** = embroidered robes.

**gladness.** Hebrew, plural of majesty = with great gladness.

**thy . . . thy.** Hebrew text, these pronouns are masculine; but the Syriac reads them feminine. In this case they agree with and perfect the Structure above.

**people** = peoples, or nations.
**To the chief Musician.** See App-64 . Having been written for the marriage of Hezekiah, the Psalm was handed over for public use, as the glorious antitype of the marriage of Messiah in a yet future day ([Revelation 19:7-9](../../../kjv/revelation/19/7-9) )
**for the sons,** &c. See note on Title, above. This and [Psalms 87](../../../kjv/psalms/87) are the only two Psalms where the Title is given at the beginning as well as the end. These two Psalms are for a good reason thus discriminated.
**upon:** i.e. relating to.
**Alamoth.** App-65 .
