i love Psalm 45. Especially the first verse. the headings say, to the tune of "Lilies". Of the Sons of Korah. A wedding song.
1. My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king,
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
2. You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace
since God has blessed you forever.
3. Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one
clothe yourself with splendour and majesty.
It speaks of King David's marriage preparations to a princess from Tyre. Read on and there's the princess' preparation. Gowns woven with gold, embroidered garments. Beautiful, no? In my opinion, this was probably a very popular, topping the charts tune back in that era. =D You got the ephod-wearing levites toe-tapping, swaying to this song. There is a song based on this psalm by Greg Silverman titled 'Noble Theme'. Ah, lovely lovelies.
