My Heart Overflows With A Goodly Theme

 

"Then He said to them,
This is what I told you while I was still with you:

everything which is written concerning Me
 in the Law of Moses and the Prophets

and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

Luke 24:44

My heart overflows with a goodly theme;

I address my psalm to a King.

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

You are fairer than the children of men;

graciousness is poured upon Your lips;

therefore God has blessed You forever.

Gird Your sword upon Your thigh,

O mighty One, in Your glory and Your majesty.

And in Your majesty ride on triumphantly

for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness,

uprightness and right standing with God;

and let Your right hand guide You to tremendous things.

Your arrows are sharp; the people fall under You;

Your darts pierce the hearts of the King's enemies.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You love righteousness, uprightness,

 and right standing with God

and hate wickedness; 

therefore God, Your God, has anointed You 

with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.

Your garments are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia;

stringed instruments make You glad.

Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women;

at Your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

Hear, O daughter, consider, submit, and consent

to my instruction; forget your own people and your father's house;

So will the King desire your beauty; because He is your Lord,

be submissive and reverence and honor Him.

And O daughter of Tyre, the richest of the people
shall entreat your favor with a gift.

The King's daughter in the inner part of the palace is all glorious;

her clothing is inwrought with gold.

She shall be brought to the King in raiment of needlework;

with virgins, her companions that follow her,

she shall be brought to You.

With gladness and rejoicing will they be brought;

they will enter into the King's palace.

Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,

whom You will make princes in all the land.

I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;

therefore shall the people praise and give You thanks forever and ever.

Psalm 45
The sons of Korah
 

While this song is composed against the backdrop of 
a secular royal wedding, several verses clearly apply to
  Jesus Christ as the Anointed of God, 
a Mighty Warrior-King,
Whose reign of righteousness is blessed forever.
