Psalm 45 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 45.

Meditate on verse 1.

My heart overflows with a good theme;

I address my verses to the King;

my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Reading Psalm 45 is like eavesdropping on an intimate conversation.  An enthralled psalmist spoke adoring words to his King.

You are fairer than the sons of men;

grace is poured upon Your lips;

therefore, God has blessed You forever.

—Psalm 45:2

He calls the King, “Mighty One” and “God” (vs. 3, 6). He speaks of His splendor and describes His scepter as “a scepter of uprightness” (vs. 3, 6).

Psalm 45 was written at least 1,000 years before the birth of Christ. Reading it more than 2,000 years after the coming of Messiah, it is obvious the psalmist was talking to King Jesus.

Use the psalmist’s words to begin adoring your King; then continue praising Him for eternity.  Pray Psalm 45:3-4, 11, and 17 as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Gird Your sword on Your thigh, O Mighty One,

 in Your splendor and Your majesty! 

And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,

for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;

 let Your right hand teach _______ and me awesome things. 

We bow down to You because You are our LORD. 

We want to cause Your name to be remembered in all generations.

 May we and all peoples give You thanks forever and ever, King Jesus~”
