Psalms 45 — Context

My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.

Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.

Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.
