Commentary for Psalms 45:3

יָפְיָפִ֡יתָ מִבְּנֵ֬י אָדָ֗ם ה֣וּצַק חֵ֭ן בְּשְׂפְתוֹתֶ֑יךָ עַל־כֵּ֤ן בֵּֽרַכְךָ֖ אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְעוֹלָֽם׃

Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured upon thy lips; Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Rashi on Psalms

You are more handsome than [other] men who engage in the work of transitory life. Why? Because charm is poured into your lips to instruct according to the halachah. הוּצַק means “poured,” as (Exod. 38:27): “to cast (לצקת)”; (Gen. 28:18), “and he poured (ויצק) oil.”
