Psalm 45:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 45:6

Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever
This verse and ( Psalms 45:7 ) are cited in ( Hebrews 1:8 Hebrews 1:9 ) ; and applied to the Son of God, the second Person in the Trinity; and therefore are not an apostrophe to the Father, as some have said; nor will they bear to be rendered, "thy throne is the throne of God", or "thy throne is God"; or be supplied thus, "God shall establish thy throne". But they are spoken of the Son of God, who is truly and properly God, the true God and eternal life; as appears by the names by which he is called, as Jehovah, and the like; by his having all divine perfections in him; by the works which he has wrought, and by the worship which is given unto him; and to whom dominion is ascribed, of which the throne is an emblem, ( Genesis 41:40 ) . And this his government is either general, over angels, good and bad, and over men, even wicked men, and over the greatest among men, the kings of the earth; or special, over his own church and people, and which is exercised by his Spirit and grace in them; by his word and ordinances among them; and which will be in a glorious manner in the latter day; and in heaven, though not in the same manner as now, and that to all eternity: for to this government duration for ever and ever is attributed; Christ will have no successor, he will die no more; nor can his government be subverted or taken out of his hands, or he be removed from his throne by any of his enemies, or by all of them; and though his kingdom will be delivered up to the Father, it will not cease, it is an everlasting one;

the sceptre of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre;
meaning either the Gospel, which is the golden sceptre of mercy and grace, stretched out and held forth for the encouragement of sensible sinners; and is a sceptre of righteousness, as it directs to the righteousness of Christ for justification, and encourages works of righteousness to be done by men: or rather the righteous administration of Christ's government is meant, the sceptre being an emblem of dominion and government, ( Genesis 49:10 ) ( Numbers 24:17 ) .

Psalm 45:6 In-Context

4 En tu majestad cabalga en triunfo, por la causa de la verdad, de la humildad y de la justicia; que tu diestra te enseñe cosas tremendas.
5 Tus saetas son agudas; los pueblos caen debajo de ti; en el corazón de los enemigos del rey están tus flechas.
6 Tu trono, oh Dios, es eterno y para siempre; cetro de equidad es el cetro de tu reino.
7 Has amado la justicia y aborrecido la iniquidad; por tanto Dios, tu Dios, te ha ungido con óleo de alegría más que a tus compañeros.
8 Todas tus vestiduras están perfumadas con mirra, áloe y casia; desde palacios de marfil te han alegrado con instrumentos de cuerda.
