First, your throne, O God, will last forever (1-9). This psalm is a royal wedding song of a direct descendant of David marrying a princess. An excellent man and king has lips anointed with grace. A great king parades truth, humility, and justice. He loves righteousness and hates wickedness. Hebrews 1:8-9 applies this psalm to the Messiah, Jesus Christ. His throne is forever. He reigns with truth, humility, righteousness, and justice.

Second, honor the king, for he is your lord (10-17). The princess bride was indeed blessed to marry a noble, godly king in David's line. Her only charge was to honor her lord, the king. This same charge is given to Christian wives toward their husbands (see 1Pe 3:1ff). Their children would be princes. A union based on righteousness and justice draws the praise of all nations. We are the bride of Christ. Our charge is to honor him, our Lord.


Application: Lord Jesus, your throne is established on truth, humility, justice, and righteousness, and it is forever. We belong to you. May our words and actions honor you as Lord.
One Word: Jesus' throne is forever; honor him
