ye.di.dah denotes love in a poetic utterance addressed to a king.

The sole attestation places the plural noun in Psalm 45:1 within a poetic declaration to a king, supporting a love-related expression while leaving its precise contribution to the clause uncertain.

Senses in use

  1. Love in a poetic royal address · dominant

    In Psalm 45:1, the plural absolute noun occurs in a verse where the speaker addresses deeds to the king and describes a tongue as a ready scribe's stylus. The APB renders the verse as a poetic utterance beginning, "My heart has overflowed with a pleasant word," closely enough to isolate the noun's English rendering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 45:1, the APB presents the surrounding verse as a poetic statement to a king, including "My heart has overflowed with a pleasant word." It does not clearly identify a separate English rendering for this noun.
