Important References to Christ in 45th Psalm

Psalm 45:1 - My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

"A good matter" - the coming Kingdom of Christ!

Psalm 45:2 - Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

"Fairer than the children of men" - Matthew 17:2; John 1:14; Colossians 1:15-18; Hebrews 1:3-4.

"Grace is poured into thy lips" - Luke 4:22; John 7:46.

Psalm 45:3 - Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

See Revelation 1:16, 19:15, 19:21.

Psalm 45:4 - And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

See Revelation 19:11-15.

Psalm 45:6-7 - This is quoted in Hebrews 1:8-9 as the Father speaking to Christ; and the Father calls Christ "God," clearly Deity. See also Luke 1:32-33; Jeremiah 23:5-6.

Psalm 45:8 - All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

See Matthew 2:11 (myrrh); John 19:39 (myrrh and aloes); Exodus 30:23-24 (myrrh and cassia for the holy annointing oil); various references throughout Song of Solomon for these on the Groom (figurative of Christ).

Psalm 45:10-11 - speaking of the Bride of Christ, the Church.
