2Thou art fairer then the children of men: grace is powred into thy lips: therfore God hath blessed thee for euer. 3Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie: with thy glory and thy maiestie. 4And in thy maiestie ride prosperously, because of trueth and meekenes, and righteousnesse: and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5Thine arrowes are sharpe in the heart of the Kings enemies; whereby the people fall vnder thee. 6Thy throne (O God) is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a right scepter.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 45:4
45:4 And - Being thus magnificently girt and armed. Ride - March on speedily and successfully against thine enemies. The word - That is, the gospel: which is called the word of truth, #Eph 1:13|, and may no less truly be called the word of meekness, because it is not delivered with terror, as the law was at Sinai, but meekly and sweetly; and the word of righteousness, because it brings in everlasting righteousness, and strongly excites all men to the practice of righteousness and holiness. And so the gospel is compared, to an horse or chariot, upon which Christ is said to ride, when the gospel is preached, and carried about from place to place. Teach thee - Thou shalt do exploits, which shall be terrible to thine enemies. But the phrase, thy right hand shall teach thee, is not to be taken properly; the meaning is, his hand should shew him, discover and work before him.
