Psalm 45

This is very interesting psalm.  In the heading (which I believe is part of the inspired scripture) it is identified as a love song.  It is reminiscent of the Song of Solomon with the bridegroom described in majestic and godlike terms and the bride is a glorious princess.  As in many passages there are puzzles the confound - vs 16 says "In place of your fathers shall be your sons".  

This psalm also has a phrase that evokes an old song, Out of the Ivory Palaces"  That section of the psalm is messianic and the song picks up on that - "into a world of woe. Only His great eternal love made my Savior go."

Verse 4 resonates with me - "In your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness."

Those three are great causes for us to embrace and it is a great comfort and relief to know that we have majestic victory in our scope.
