Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies,....

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies, whereby the people fall under thee. Christ has not only power near at hand, with his right hand, but far off he darts the arrows of his bow and heathens are made to feel that the gospel is mighty. Would God it were so now. Cry for it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. Christ has far-reaching power.

This verse and Psalms 45:7 are cited in Hebrews 1:8; 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,...

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. Notice that the more you look at Christ the more there is to see.

Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Fellow with us and yet equal with God. Man anointed, the Christ, yet still the reigning God. Glory be to his name.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Christ is no neutral.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Not only is Christ precious, but everything that touches him.

Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. No one is so honoured as the one who waits upon the Saviour.
