Psalms 45:4

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.

What Does Psalms 45:4 Mean?

Psalm 45:2-7

Psalm 45 is a Messianic prophecy. The word for "God" used once of the Messiah and later for the Messiah's God, is elohim. Paul quotes this psalm in Hebrews 1:8-9 to prove that Jesus ("through whom also He made the worlds," verse 2) is worthy of the worship of angels. To worship anything less than God breaks the first commandment! This shows Jesus to be God before and after His incarnation.
