In Israel the monarchy was closly associated with God Himself, for though he had a representative on Earth, a man like David or Solomon, he was their true and only Sovereign. Scholars are split on how to understand  Psalm 45,  how to apply it to our situation today. One way that seems most appropriate is to use  the figure of Christ as the interpretive key. Christians often do this with the Old Testament, for they understand Christ as the figure the old covenant scriptures are pointing to, from Genesis to the last of the prophets. Christ is the fulfillment of all the promises of the Old Testament.

The Daily Psalms are given with the intention to encourage Christians to read and meditate on these scriptures in order to grow in their faith and relationship with God. They are released every Tuesday and Thursday for the following week on all major Podcast platforms. May the Lord bless you as you ponder His Word.
