A bscepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
Therefore God, Your God, has aanointed You
With the oil of bgladness more than Your companions.
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
bAt Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
Consider and incline your ear;
aForget your own people also, and your father’s house;

Psalms 45:7
Thou lovest righteousness ... - See this verse explained in the notes at Hebrews 1:9, where it is applied to the Messiah. The word "God" is rendered in the margin "O God" ; "O God, thy God, hath anointed thee," etc. According to this construction, the thought would be carried on which is suggested in Psalms 45:6, of a direct address to the Messiah as God. This construction is not necessary, but it is the most obvious one. The Messiah - the Lord Jesus - though he is described as God himself (John 1:1, et al.), yet addresses God as "his" God, John 20:17. As Mediator, as appearing in human form, as commissioned to perform the work of redemption, and to subdue the world to the divine authority, it was proper thus to address his Father as "his" God, and to, acknowledge Him as the source of all authority and law.
