Psalm 45

Psalm 45

"1My heart ^[b]overflows with a good theme;
I address my verses to the King;
My tongue is the pen of ^(A)a ready writer.
2You are fairer than the sons of men;
^(B)Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has ^(C)blessed You forever.
3Gird ^(D)Your sword on Your thigh, O ^(E)Mighty One,
In Your splendor and Your majesty!
4And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and ^(F)meekness and righteousness;
Let Your ^(G)right hand teach You awesome things.
5Your ^(H)arrows are sharp;
The ^(I)peoples fall under You;
Your arrows are ^(J)in the heart of the King's enemies.
6^(K)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of ^(L)uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7You have ^(M)loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has ^(N)anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your fellows.
8All Your garments are fragrant with ^(O)myrrh and aloes and cassia;
Out of ivory palaces ^(P)stringed instruments have made You glad.
9Kings' daughters are among ^(Q)Your noble ladies;
At Your ^(R)right hand stands the queen in ^(S)gold from Ophir.
10Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
^(T)Forget your people and your father's house;
11Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your ^(U)Lord, ^(V)bow down to Him.
12The daughter of ^(W)Tyre will come with a gift;
The ^(X)rich among the people will seek your favor.
13The King's daughter is all glorious within;
Her clothing is ^(Y)interwoven with gold.
14She will be ^(Z)led to the King ^(AA)in embroidered work;
The ^(AB)virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King's palace.
16In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17I will cause ^(AC)Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the peoples ^(AD)will give You thanks forever and ever."

Wow! I kind of want to say that this is prophetic of Christ and Mary. I will not say much though. I will merely reflect on the fact that God has a plan for everything, and His will be carried out in spite of our shortcomings. Praise God. He is a conqueror, and His victory was written long before He came down to visit us.
