For the music director; according to the machalath style;2 a well-written song3 by David. Fools say to themselves,4 “There is no God.”5 They sin and commit evil deeds;6 none of them does what is right.7
For the music director; according to the tune of “Lilies;”2 by the Korahites, a well-written poem,3 a love song. My heart is stirred by a beautiful song.4 I say, “I have composed this special song5 for the king; my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of an experienced scribe.”6
