Psalms 45:5

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.

Psalms 45:5

Thine arrows are sharp - The arrows here may mean the convictions produced in the hearts of men by the preaching of the Gospel. The King is God himself; his enemies are sinners of all sorts. The people, the Jews, thousands of whom were pricked in their hearts under the preaching of Peter and others. All fall before Christ; those who received the word rose again by repentance and faith; those who did not, fell down-all down!
