(Verse 7) "Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. Your royal power is expressed in justice. You love what is right and hate what is wrong. Therefore God, Your God, has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else." The last half of this verse can te translated, "Therefore God, your God, has made you Christ," because anointed is translated Christ in the Greek.
But notice that the one anointed as Christ is spoken of as God, as in "Your throne O God." This is God or Jesus talking about himself, as a direct reference to the way he spoke of himself in Isaiah 7:23 where he says of himself, "Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and he will be called Immanuel, meaning God is with us." And we know that when God was on earth he was called Christ.
The Jewish leaders knew this. They knew that according to the Pslams the Christ was God. This is why they accused Jesus of blasphemy, he was making himself out to be God.
Verse 6: "Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. ..." The book of Hebrews identifies the "O God" here with Jesus the Christ. We know this because it goes own to say in Hebrews 8:9 that "You love what is right and hate what is wrong. Therefore God has anointed you, or has made you Christ. ...
Then it says in verse 10, "Lord (God) in the beginning you laid the foundation of the earth." This definitely speaks of Jesus ( John 1:3) as the one, and therefore God, who created everything there is.
It was always Gods plan to come to the earth in the personality of Jesus the Christ. This is exactly what he did when he was born in that lowely stable that Christmas morning. And as Paul often said, "I think God through Jesus Christ our Lord."
The Law is Righteous and is the Character of GOD, however the Law in itself being righteous cannot save the guilty sinner but can point to the Saviour who can redeem you from Sin and not in Sin. We establish the law through christ who strenghtens me.
Grace will be given according to the Faith that we have in Grace....

The Lord is leading me to fix this temple. He began by healing a torn rotator cuff and then convicted me about being so sedentary and allowing the temple to be in such disrepair. Becoming the beautiful queen of this psalm is my goal.... to have a temple worthy of his dwelling.
Harry, move beyond the vail into the Holy of Holies, and seek him first. His righteousness will clothe you and his spirit will bring the changes to your life as the Lord continues to sanctify and bring you to perfection (wholeness) in Christ. If you feel like you are beating yourself up, your guilt is false and a lie. Conviction from the Holy Spirit is always brought with grace to become what God wants you to be.
God bless you with a crown of lovingkindness and grace.
Timothy Wayne George on Psalms 45:8 - 11 years ago
Jesus left the ivory palaces of heaven, to come to this earth, and received gifts of gold, myrrh, aloes, and cassia to do the Father's will. He humbled Himself to death on the cross, and rose the third day victorious over sin and death. Wherefore God has exalted Him above all His fellows, because He loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. He is seated at the right hand of majesty from which He will come again to judge the living, and the dead. We sing with stringed instruments that have made Him glad, and praise Him for all the glory that is due His name.
I AM still trying to grasp the CONCEPT of living under GRACE,and clothed in JESUS RIGHTEOUSNESS.MAYBE I AM TRYING TO SAVE MYSELF BY TRYING to please JESUS by BEING OBEDIANT TO HIS COMMANDS RATHER THAN ACCEPTING HIS GRACE ?JESUS LOVES ME ......
