Psalm 45/Notes/Textual.vv. 4-5.410065
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
v. 5 – The repetition of וַהֲדָ֬רְךָ֨ in both the last word of v. 4 and the first word of v. 5 has produced suspicion of dittography ("writing twice"), though there is no evidence for this in manuscripts or the ancient versions, so it has been maintained (so Barthélemy et al. 2005, 265).
