Psalms 45:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 45:3

The Glories of the Messiah and His Bride

To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.

1 My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a¹ ready writer.

2 You are fairer than the sons of men;
^aGrace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.

3 Gird Your ^asword upon Your thigh, ^bO Mighty One,
With Your ^cglory and Your majesty.

4 ^aAnd in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;
And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.

5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;
The peoples fall under You.

6 ^aYour throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A ^bscepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has ^aanointed You
With the oil of ^bgladness more than Your companions.

8 All Your garments are ^ascented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
