Psalm 45

A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.

Read chapter 45
This is a song of love most likely sung at a royal wedding as obvious as we read through the psalm. We don't know exactly what king and queen this was of such a glorious and praise honoring wedding.  "The best connection to make for this psalm is with the marriage of good King Hezekiah to Hephzibah. Hezekiah was the best king Judah had after David, and, if the age of his eldest son Manasseh at his death is any indication, his marriage to Hephzibah followed two victories the LORD gave him: first, the sending away of the Assyrian invaders through the LORD’s miraculous intervention, and second his own personal salvation from the illness that but for the LORD’s intervention would have taken his life. Soon after both these triumphs, while Judah was celebrating its miraculous salvation, a glorious royal wedding takes place. The recently renewed nation turns out in droves to celebrate the nuptials of its beloved king and his bride" (precepts.wordpress.com).  Ultimately it's a beautiful wedding picture of the Lord's future union with His people.  "So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
Because He is your Lord, worship Him" v.11.  How can you be a godly husband or wife as we see in this psalm when it comes to your wedding day?
