This is a hymn for what appears to be one of David’s weddings. Completely different from the 44 psalms before. It sounds like love what you might sing for your spouse but instead it’s a choir singing about a couple.
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.
They’re extolling the virtue of the king. Some friends are easy to write or even sing about due to the nature of your relationship. God does bless people in different ways, often with friendship. You can’t really say how it happens, it just does. They must therefore be gifts from God. There’s also moments where writing doesn’t work. You get writers block and nothing makes sense, but then eventually it comes back. Sometimes like an avalanche coming down a mountain. Those are gifts of catharsis.
Not only is that true of writing, and in a sense human relationships- where most of the time it’s simply mundane than you move on to profound in moments. But it’s true of our relationship with God. You can go months or years with no breakthroughs. But then there’s the moment where God’s light shines through and you realize it was worth the wait.
Stick with it. Hold on through the mundane. The profound is coming.
Joy comes in the morning and it comes in the waiting!
