INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 45 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. There are some things in this title we have met with already in other psalms; as the direction, "to the chief Musician, for the sons of Korah"; and one of its names, "Maschil". The word "shoshannim", according to Kimchi and Ben Melech, is the name of a musical instrument, on which...

Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever,.... 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, "God shall establish thy throne".

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Note the connection here between God and man, the very same Person who is addressed as God, is also spoken of as anointed by God above his fellows. God and yet man art thou,...

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. This could not have been said of Solomon; for he was never called God. It refers to none other than Christ the King, whose throne is for ever and ever.
