Read the chapter

1My heart is moved with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. ✦ 2You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever. ✦ 3¶Strap Your sword on Your thigh, Mighty One, In Your splendor and majesty! ✦ 4And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things. ✦ 5Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies. ✦ 6¶Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice. ✦ 7You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions. ✦ 8All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; From ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You joyful. ✦ 9Kings’ daughters are among Your noble women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. ✦ 10¶Listen, daughter, look and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house; ✦ 11Then the King will crave your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him. ✦ 12The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The wealthy among the people will seek your favor. ✦ 13¶The King’s daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold. ✦ 14She will be brought to the King in colorful garments; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You. ✦ 15They will be brought with joy and rejoicing; They will enter into the King’s palace. ✦ 16¶In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth. ✦ 17I will make Your name known among all generations; Therefore the peoples will praise You forever and ever. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 45 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
