To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. 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.
 

45:1 inditing a good matter. This is the last Maschil psalm for the sons of Korah (see superscript). It is a psalm of ultimate triumph following the seemingly unanswered prayers of the martyrs of the previous psalm. The title also calls it “a song of loves,” since the psalm speaks not only of the King’s triumph, but also of His Bride. It is clearly a Messianic psalm, describing the ultimate union of the heavenly Bridegroom, the Lord Jesus, with His earthly Bride, the church. The word “inditing” is used only this once in Scripture, and seems to mean “overflowing with.”
