Psalms 45:13

45:13 The princess looks absolutely magnificent,

decked out in pearls and clothed in a brocade trimmed with gold.

Psalms 104:32

104:32 He looks down on the earth and it shakes;

he touches the mountains and they start to smolder.

Psalms 112:8

112:8 His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear

before he looks in triumph on his enemies.


tn Heb “[the] daughter of a king.”

tn Heb “[is] completely glorious.”

tc Heb “within, from settings of gold, her clothing.” The Hebrew term פְּנִימָה (pÿnimah, “within”), if retained, would go with the preceding line and perhaps refer to the bride being “within” the palace or her bridal chamber (cf. NIV, NRSV). Since the next two lines refer to her attire (see also v. 9b), it is preferable to emend the form to פְּנִינִיהָּ (“her pearls”) or to פְּנִינִים (“pearls”). The mem (מ) prefixed to “settings” is probably dittographic.

tn Heb “his heart,” viewed here as the seat of the volition.
