Psalm 45/Notes/Lexical.v. 2.92665
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
v. 2 – The noun מַעֲשֶׂה has a wide semantic range. It can refer to work in the sense of the labor of daily life, but can also have the sense of a technical accomplishment, a finely-crafted product/work (SDBH) such as "the work of a baker" מַעֲשֵׂה אֹפֶה (Gen 40:17) = baked goods. The latter is likely here, but in this case, the work is that of a poet, i.e. a lyrical poem. Being grammatically plural, מַעֲשַׂ֣י may refer to poetic verses.
