Psalms 45:7

JusticeJesus Christ

5 Your arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s foes; the nations fall beneath your feet.

6 Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

8 All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.

9 The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.
