Majesty and Glory of Christ

This section describes the eternal throne and glorious kingdom of Christ, the royal bridegroom. Here, Christ is shown ruling with righteousness and joy. The passage also gives us a glimpse of the splendor of His heavenly court and the honor of His people, the church, who are compared to a royal bride and her attendants.

v. 6: God the Father speaks to the Son, saying, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom”(Psalm 45:6; Hebrews 1:8-9 ^a). Christ’s kingdom will never end. His rule is always just and fair. This verse shows that Jesus is truly God, and His authority will last forever, even after all earthly kingdoms are gone (Isaiah 9:7 ^b).

v. 7: The psalm continues, “You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions”. Christ’s kingdom is based on holiness. God gave Him the Holy Spirit in full measure, filling Him with great joy and honor above all others (Isaiah 61:1 ^c). Because Jesus was willing to suffer and do God’s will, He is now exalted and filled with joy (Philippians 2:8-9 ^d).
