From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Now will I sing -This is an indication that what follows is poetic, or is adapted to be sung or chanted. To my well-beloved -The word used here -ידידyedı̂yd- is a term of endearment. It properly denotes a friend; a favorite; one greatly beloved. It is applied to saints as being the beloved, or the favorites of God, inPsalms 127:2;Deuteronomy 33:12. In this place, it is evidently applied to Yahweh, the God of the Jewish people.
