Psalms 45:8

Context

45:8 All your garments are perfumed with 1  myrrh, aloes, and cassia.

From the luxurious palaces 2  comes the music of stringed instruments that makes you happy. 3 

1 tn The words “perfumed with” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

2 tn Heb “the palaces of ivory.” The phrase “palaces of ivory” refers to palaces that had ivory panels and furniture decorated with ivory inlays. Such decoration with ivory was characteristic of a high level of luxury. See 1 Kgs 22:39 and Amos 3:15.

3 tn Heb “from the palaces of ivory stringed instrument[s] make you happy.”
