Psalm 45: A Song for the King's Wedding
A wedding song celebrating the king's righteous reign and his bride.
Psalm 45 is described as 'a song of loves,' and the psalmist's tongue becomes 'the pen of a ready writer' to describe a king fairer than the children of men. Verse 6 declares, 'Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever,' a line quoted of Christ in Hebrews 1:9.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.
Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
