In Him. through Him. in the unity of the Holy Spirit. the gift of god so that no man could boast! we are saved not by our power and might but by his.

Psalm 145:3-7

      You are fairer than the sons of men;

Grace is poured upon Your lips;

Therefore God has blessed You forever.

³ Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One,

With Your glory and Your majesty.

⁴ And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;

And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.

⁵ Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;

The peoples fall under You.

⁶ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁷ You love righteousness and hate wickedness;

Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

Anointing set aside a particular person for special service to God. In OT times, those who were anointed for special service foreshadowed the Anointed One, the meaning of Messiah and Christ. This is a portrait of heaven, with God as King and the church as His radiant bride.

The words Your throne indicate the messianic direction of the psalm. Here the King is addressed as God, yet it is “God, Your God” who anointed Him. Thus these verses describe the interaction of the Father and the Son, for both are called “God.” The writer of Hebrews used these verses to assert Jesus’ deity.

So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” 

Luke 4:22

And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; In the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, And made Me a polished shaft; In His quiver He has hidden Me.” 

Isaiah 49:2

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

Hebrews 4:12

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called ^kWonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

Isaiah 9:6

To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. 

Jude 25

But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 

Hebrews 1:8

And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. 

Revelation 6:2
