kjv@Psalms:45:1 @ My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

kjv@Psalms:45:2 @ Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

kjv@Psalms:45:3 @ Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

kjv@Psalms:45:4 @ And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

kjv@Psalms:45:5 @ Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

kjv@Psalms:45:6 @ Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

kjv@Psalms:45:7 @ Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

kjv@Psalms:45:8 @ All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

kjv@Psalms:45:9 @ Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

kjv@Psalms:45:10 @ Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

kjv@Psalms:45:11 @ So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

kjv@Psalms:45:12 @ And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

kjv@Psalms:45:13 @ The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

kjv@Psalms:45:14 @ She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

kjv@Psalms:45:15 @ With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

kjv@Psalms:45:16 @ Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

kjv@Psalms:45:17 @ I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

Note: A decision had to be made as to whether this was alluding the marriage (perhaps wedding feast) of Christ to His Queen bride or whether this was making adue to the king and new queen of then Israel. Because of the language of the king being taught, the continuance of riding forward into battle, the visit of daughter of Tyre and rich people, an entourage of accompanying virgins, the forsaking of her fathers for the comfort of her own future children it was decided that this was indeed speaking specifically of past royalty. A kingdom scepter whom God has anointed is a reverent thing after all to be respected by us all. However it is nice to ponder the future reception of Christ King and Glorious Bride, there are plenty of beneficial scriptural comparisons to indulge in here.
