Read the chapter

1My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. ✦ 2You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever. ✦ 3Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty. ✦ 4And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things. ✦ 5Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies; The peoples fall under You. ✦ 6Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. ✦ 7You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions. ✦ 8All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad. ✦ 9Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. ✦ 10Listen, O daughter, Consider and incline your ear; Forget your own people also, and your father’s house; ✦ 11So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, worship Him. ✦ 12And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor. ✦ 13The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace; Her clothing is woven with gold. ✦ 14She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors; The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You. ✦ 15With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King’s palace. ✦ 16Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth. ✦ 17I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people shall 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.
