The King’s Eternal Throne
Your Throne Is Forever
Psalms 45: 1-17

Psa 45:1 To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah; a love song. My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
Psa 45:2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
Psa 45:3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and majesty!
Psa 45:4 In your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!
Psa 45:5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you.
Psa 45:6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
Psa 45:7 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
Psa 45:8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
Psa 45:9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
Psa 45:10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear: forget your people and your father's house,
Psa 45:11 and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him.
Psa 45:12 The people of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts, the richest of the people.
Psa 45:13 All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold.
Psa 45:14 In many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions following behind her.
Psa 45:15 With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.
Psa 45:16 In place of your fathers shall be your sons; you will make them princes in all the earth.
Psa 45:17 I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore nations will praise you forever and ever.
