For the music director; according to the shushan-eduth style;2 a psalm of Asaph. O shepherd of Israel, pay attention, you who lead Joseph like a flock of sheep! You who sit enthroned above the winged angels,3 reveal your splendor!4
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
